Light Car mega-test iPad App special edition

The Light Car segment is bigger, better and more competitive than ever before

If you've got a nippy little shopping trolley on your Christmas wish list, then our motoring.com.au iPad App mega-test will be mighty helpful, possibly more helpful than a decent satnav for Santa's sleigh of reindeer.

The light hatch segment is hot right now… It is bigger and better than ever before and presents itself as more than a basket of frugal runabouts. The best are without doubt safe, reliable and well-equipped alternatives to the traditional family sedan, with surprising levels of amenity and accommodation.

It was no easy task evaluating a total of 11 Light Cars, pushing them to their limits to see which had the edge on the competition. The comparison included Ford Fiesta, Holden Barina, Honda Jazz, Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Mazda 2, Nissan Micra, Skoda Fabia, Susuki Swift, Toyota Yaris and Volkswagen Polo.
