Smart’s four-door take on the Renault Twingo. Refined, cute, but we wish it were more fun

Peugeot did a decent job with the 107's replacement, but it forgot to add character

Nice to drive and with funky doors, the Meriva is very practical for such a small car. What's not to like?

Renault has tried something different with the Twingo, and it's worked

This is the one they all need to watch out for. VW has finally got serious about the city car

Peugeot can at last lay the ghost of the 205 GTI to rest. This is a very able modern hatch

A fleet-footed boisterous hot hatch that's no longer a one-trick pony

The big-brother to the regular Fiat 500 is roomier and more family-friendly. Nice work, Fiat

Nice-looking Vauxhall mini-MPV has a neat interior and that's about it. Can't hold a candle to a Yeti

Attractive cabrio variant of the huge Golf range is good looking and good to drive

Volkswagen's take on the all-electric family car is, as you'd expect, an extremely convincing one

It's not the car it was, the Renaultsport Clio. Still fast, with a nice chassis, but not a patch on before

A former TopGear Car of the Year. That was a long time ago, though.
