Small and quirky car

Families living in cities often opt for a smaller sized car as this is more nimble to get around in and easier to park when space is an issue.
Popular small cars are makes and models such as the Ford Fiesta, The Fiat 500 and the Audi A1.The Audi A1 has been hailed as car of the Year 2011 by one online guide and is said to be a small car with all the qualities that Audi normally come with. It comes in three different sizes turbo engines, handles very well and has a bigger and more useful boot than most minis.

But for many their small city car is their second car so there is less need for boot space and more need for something which looks good and is small and nimble. The Fiat 500 is one such vehicle and has become very popular as of late. It has a quirky look and works well when picking its way through crowded urban streets. It's cheaper than the Audi A1 to buy and resale values are solid. It's also cheap to fuel and tax and is exempt from the London Congestion Charge.But for many their small city car is their second car so there is less need for boot space and more need for something which looks good and is small and nimble.

Other quirky options out there are of course the Smart car, the Nissan Note with its more boxy design and the Suzuki Swift. The latter is a great value used car which is said to be both powerful and fun to drive and some people say it's hard to beat as a fun car for little cash.
