Once upon a time Small cars were a stepping stone -- something you drove until you could afford a ‘proper’ car. Owning one long-term usually meant you weren’t much of a ‘car person’, or that you didn’t have a lot of common sense. You see, in years gone by, Small cars often weren’t much good... Things have changed. And then some!
In the latest issue of the motoring.com.au iPad App we put ten popular cars to task to see who reigns supreme in the small-fry stakes.
They’re reliable, efficient, spacious, and safe. And, perhaps surprisingly, they’re also more than capable of giving their large car rivals something of a kicking on almost every front... Even performance.
But it’s a fast-moving feast, and each of our contenders are keen for their own slice of the Small car pie chart. As we discovered on test, these cars might be small in stature, but they’re absolutely gigantic on features and personality. There’s much to like and the competition is agonisingly close.
