How suitable is a supermini for me?
Superminis have always been a popular choice as they're ideal for the day-to-day lives of many. Whilst smaller in size than the likes of hatchbacks, superminis are still capable of carrying the weekly shop or a couple of bags of luggage, and are often more entertaining to drive than larger cars.
Due to their popularity, the supermini segment is one of the most fierce there is. The Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa are probably the first names that spring to mind, as they've been bestsellers for decades and are a common sight on British roads. Alternatives such as the MINI Hatch, Volkswagen Polo, and Audi A1 offer a more premium approach, and are often applauded for their impressive build qualities and technology packages.
