Six of the best: Superminis - News image

02 November 2007

In Britain small superminis make sense. They are affordable, fun to drive, easy to park and have a fashionable image.

We’re not short on choice and Andy Goodwin has sampled six of the best on sale right now.

 

 



Mini Cooper

The Mini has been a huge success, and not just because of its cool retro image – the driving experience is fantastic too. A revised Mini was released earlier this year with similar looks but smoother more economical engines, enhancing its appeal.

Mazda 2

The new Mazda 2 has only just gone on sale but it’s already making big waves with the Japanese model helping the company to a record sales month in September. The new design is a big leap on from its predecessor and its fun to drive, practical, good looking and economical.

The Vauxhall Corsa has been one of the top selling British cars for years, and the latest version is the best one yet. If you want an upmarket supermini, the Corsa is refined and spacious.

Peugeot 207

The Peugeot 207 is a good all-rounder with a strong image, enhanced by its bold looks. The 1.6-litre diesel is powerful enough to stretch the cars legs on the motorway, while smaller engines are adequate for less demanding driving. Standard equipment levels are generous with a full length sunroof being a stand-out feature on range-topping models.

Renault Clio

More than 13 million Renault Clios have been built since its introduction in 1991, so the new car certainly had a lot to live up to. It has grown in size and quality, and it is definitely the nicest Clio yet to be inside. There’s a wide choice of engines, including economical 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel models a 2-litre hot edition.
