Hi Aine,

Small car? Or small premium car? If you like your Audis, then a smart-but-small A1 could be a good choice, but to be honest you’d be better off buying the new SEAT Ibiza, which uses all the same mechanical bits, but is much, much cheaper. The Honda Jazz is always a good choice, too — roomy, really well made and enjoyable to drive — as is the MINI Cooper if you fancy something small but fun. Or, if you want to go really small, check out a Fiat 500. Here are our reviews of each:
