For an inner-city driver, the Smart EQ ForTwo makes plenty of sense. However, those looking to travel further afield may find it a little too limited.

The latest Abarth 695C Rivale is one of its most special Fiat 500-based hot hatches yet – a daft pocket rocket with bags of character.

We’re testing out two key city car competitors, the Volkswagen Up! and the Kia Picanto, to see which one is the best urban runabout.

Ford has updated its smallest car and added an SUV-styled version. Will the Ka+ Active hit the right note?

The Vauxhall Viva Rocks is adequate in performance, quality and looks. Its biggest problem is that rivals like the Suzuki Ignis leave it behind in all areas.

The all-new Kia Picanto is improved in every area, and remains a top contender in the highly-competitive city car market.

The Renault Twingo GT offers pace and handling improvements over the standard Twingo, but not to a level that makes it truly sporty.

Suzuki launches its Ignis small crossover, hoping to sell it on the combination of attractive styling and deceptive interior space.

The new Vauxhall Viva is a small car for the masses. It will get from A to B very well while providing Vauxhall with a bigger slice of the small car market.
