8/10DaciaSandero£6,770 – £11,390The Sandero is deservedly doing well: a reasonable car for a frankly astonishing price.
7/10KiaPicanto£9,840 – £14,950Another string to Kia’s ever more impressive bow, the Picanto is a fun and interesting city car.
3/10MitsubishiMirage£11,095 – £13,800Expensive, slow, horrid to drive. A mass of metal without sense or relish or ability or anything, really.
7/10Fiat500£11,940 – £21,520Technically and mechanically other city cars outstrip it, but emotionally – well, that’s up to you. We understand.
5/10Hyundaii20£13,950 – £18,600Worthy supermini that majors on ease of use and grown-up design. Fun is in short order though
7/10NissanJuke£14,935 – £25,170The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland
7/10CitroenC3£15,935 – £20,200Good but not great supermini for dynamics, but a thoroughly enjoyable object
6/10FordEcoSport£18,425 – £22,840Ford has gone to work on the updated EcoSport, dragging it from a blot on its record to a class contender
5/10MitsubishiASX£20,110 – £25,880It’s not that the ASX is truly bad by any stretch of the imagination, it’s just that its competition is newer. And better.
5/10VauxhallMokka X£20,360 – £27,260Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals
8/10Morgan3-Wheeler£31,140 – £34,000There’s no rationalising the Morgan 3-Wheeler, which is a massive part of its appeal. Take it at face value and love it.
7/10HondaJazzn/aNot sexy, not fun, not a heartstring-tugger, but by gum is this a clever car. Brilliantly fit for purpose
