How suitable is a city car for me?
In recent years, city cars have become a common sight thanks to their loveable charisma, value for money, and straightforward driving experience.
Perfect for the urban environment, city cars are particularly popular amongst young drivers and city-livers alike, thanks to low running costs and compact dimensions that make things easier in heavy traffic.
