Smart’s tiny two-seater makes parking a breeze, and the Fortwo is light enough to make city driving fun with its nippy 1-litre engine.
The Smart Fortwo 1.0 60 mhd Pure is priced under £7,000 new.

Fiat Panda
£6,860
The standard Fiat Panda is a capable little runner, but the Panda Eco is currently on offer at £5,995, which includes a CD player, body-coloured bumpers and £1,100 off the list price.
With CO2 emissions of 119g/km the Panda also costs just £35 per year to tax. Offer ends March 31, 2009.
Volkswagen Fox
£6,545
The lowest-priced Vee-Dub is a comfortable and convenient five-seater, complete with a double-folding rear seat bench which increases luggage capacity from 260 litres to 1,016 litres.
For a small car the Fox has a spacious interior, and with a combined fuel economy of 46.3mpg it’s a clear choice for the sensible motorist.

Chevrolet Matiz
£6,134
The Matiz is Chevrolet’s smallest model to date – it’s easy to control and park, making it an ideal urban run-around.
The 0.8-litre Matiz S features body colour bumpers, tinted glass with a shaded front windscreen and an MP3-compatible CD player, making it one of the cheapest superminis on the market.

Kia Picanto
£5,995
This sub-£6,000 supermini is Kia’s answer to the Fiesta – but the 60bhp engine will have to be pushed reasonably hard to make the most of your ride.
Running costs are low with an average fuel economy of 57.6mpg and group 2 insurance. Buyers can also expect to reclaim about half the list price after three years or 36,000 miles.
Perodua Kelisa
£4,520
The Perodua Kelisa is currently Britain’s lowest-priced motor at just £4,520, which includes driver and passenger airbags, rear door child safety locks and power steering.
For bargain-price motoring you won’t be able to buy a new car for less anywhere else.
