9/10RenaultMegane Renaultsport£17,495 – £23,155The Megane 265 is a brilliant hot hatch that trumps the Golf for thrills, but not user-friendliness.
Editor’s choice8/10FiatPanda£9,340 – £18,040Better than ever, the Fiat Panda is still a worthy rival to the VW Up.
8/10Fiat124 Spider£23,095 – £26,645Spoilt for choice between this and an MX-5? You can't actually go wrong. Choose on looks and engine character
7/10Fiat500L£14,375 – £22,410It’s certainly different. It’s also very practical, with enough charm to appeal.
7/10RenaultMegane£17,495 – £23,155Looks great, feels classy. Worth a look, Volkswagen and Ford owners.
7/10Fiat500£11,590 – £21,520Technically and mechanically other city cars outstrip it, but emotionally – well, that’s up to you. We understand.
7/10RenaultClio 200 Renaultsport£13,280 – £21,595Softer and a little disappointing: the new RS isn’t what it was. Still fun, but we hoped for more…
7/10RenaultCaptur£15,140 – £22,925If it ain't broke, don't fix it; updated Captur is still one of the better small crossovers on sale
7/10RenaultScenic£19,015 – £27,330MPV sales are down, but the stylish Scenic has every chance of reversing the trend.
7/10RenaultTwingo£10,530 – £13,235As entertaining and satisfying as the old Twingo was mundane and mediocre.
7/10RenaultClio£13,280 – £21,595Cheery and characterful, the new Clio is a genuinely appealing supermini.
7/10Fiat500X£15,485 – £25,185Not the most utilitarian choice, but this is exactly what buyers want from a Fiat crossover.
7/10RenaultZoe£21,865 – £31,465The Zoe was already a strong EV contender – extra power and range makes it more convincing than ever
6/10FiatTipo£14,060 – £20,015Probably Fiat’s least interesting car, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth ignoring if you love a bargain.
