New Superminis

74 New Superminis reviews available

  • Renault Clio (2013-)

    01-Renault-Clio

    New price: £10,715 - £19,980

    New Renault Clio reviewed - see our video report
  • Renault Twingo (2007-)

    Renault Twingo 10

    New price: £6,630 - £14,980

    At the bottom of the Renault model line-up is the little Twingo, a sub-Clio runabout. The Twingo is the perfect rival for cars like Ford Ka and VW Fox.
  • Renault Twizy (2012-)

    Renault Twizy 1

    New price: £6,795 - £7,495

    First drive of Renault's radical two-seat electric commuter car
  • Renault Zoe (2013-)

    Renault Zoe 1

    New price: £18,443 - £20,043

    The new Zoe is Renault's supermini-sized 100% electric vehicle, based on the Clio. We drive it.
  • Seat Ibiza (2008-)

    Seat Ibiza 2012 1

    New price: £9,850 - £18,650

    The Ibiza is a good looking alternative to the VW Golf and Skoda Fabia. It's got fresher styling and more equipment than the Golf too.
  • Seat Mii (2012-)

    Seat Mii 1

    New price: £7,960 - £10,875

    The Spainish sister-car to the Skoda CitiGo and VW Up - what does the Seat Mii offer buyers?
  • Skoda Citigo (2012-)

    Skoda Citigo 0

    New price: £7,755 - £10,700

    Skoda's version of the Volkswagen Up is cheaper to buy - but is it as good?
  • Skoda Fabia (2007-)

    skoda fabia 1

    New price: £9,885 - £17,980

    Skoda's Fabia returns in a much updated form. Available with everything from a basic 1.2 petrol engine up to a poky 1.9 diesel, is there a Fabia to suit you?
  • Smart ForTwo (2007-)

    Smart Fortwo 1

    New price: £9,575 - £20,395

    Read our full review of the innovative Smart ForTwo city car.
  • Subaru Justy (2007-2009)

    Subaru Justy 1

    New price: £9,695 - £10,461

    The boxy-looking Justy is basically a Daihatsu Sirion with a different badge. So is Subaru's low-powered supermini worth comparing with its sister model?
  • Suzuki Alto (2009-)

    suzuki alto 4

    New price: £7,199 - £10,469

    The Alto is a small bargain basement city car, but with five doors. With only one body style and one engine, there really isn't much choice when it comes to chosing your Alto.
  • Suzuki Splash (2008-)

    Suzuki Splash 1

    New price: £9,530 - £12,769

    The Splash is a friendly city car with a curious name. Almost identical to the Vauxhall Agila, the Splash is a simple car to take on the likes of Mini and Nissan with their Micra.

Used Superminis

82 Used Superminis reviews available

  • Abarth 500 (2009-)

    Fiat 500 Abarth

    Used price: From £11,095

    The new Abarth 500, is a beefed-up version of Fiat's 500 city car. But how does the turbo version of Fiat's 1.4 engine rate in the Which? test.
  • Alfa Romeo MiTo (2008-)

    Alfa Romeo MiTo

    Used price: From £7,995

    Should Alfa Romeo's stylish MiTo supermini be considered a serious rival to the Mini? We put the Italian marque through its paces.
  • Audi A1 (2010-)

    Audia1-1

    Used price: From £11,695

    Behind the wheel of Audi's pricey-yet-popular supermini. Does the VW Polo-based A1 live up to the high expectations of the brand?
  • Audi A1 TFSI (185) (2012-)

    01-Audi-A1-TFSI

    Used price: From £17,895

    The A1 TFSI 180bhp is Audi's answer to the VW Polo GTI. How does it stack up against the supermini hot hatch?
  • Audi A2 (2000-2005)

    Audi A2 silver driving f3q

    Used price: From £3,195

    Audi's premium supermini, built from 2000-2005
  • Chevrolet Aveo (2008-2012)

    chevrolet aveo 1

    Used price: From £3,775

    The wallet-friendly Chevrolet Aveo, a compact supermini, could save you a packet. But does the low price mean low quality?
  • Chevrolet Kalos (2005-2008)

    Chevrolet Kalos 1

    Used price: From £1,725

    The Korean-built Chevrolet Kalos supermini, formerly sold as a Daewoo, was cheap new and a steal used. So what are the downsides?
  • Chevrolet Matiz (2005-2010)

    Chevrolet Matiz 1

    Used price: From £2,350

    The Chevrolet Matiz is a compact city car produced from 2005 onwards, but it started life as the Daewoo Matiz in 1998. We check for signs of ageing.
  • Chevrolet Spark (2010-)

    Chevrolet Spark blue static f3q

    Used price: From £4,475

    We drive Chevrolet's latest city car, the Spark. It's certainly cheap - and the advertising tells us the Spark is practical - so is it cheerful too?
  • Citroen C3 (2010-)

    Citroen C3 1

    Used price: From £6,995

    Citroen's latest C3 supermini is a more refined offering than before. We find out how it rates against well established rivals, such as the Mini, VW's Polo and the Fiat Panda.
  • Citroën C1 (2005-)

    Citroen C1 2012 1

    Used price: From £3,350

    The C1 is a small city car sharing underpinnings with Toyota's Aygo and Peugeot's 107. Read on for the full review and test data.

    Citroen C2 1

    Used price: From £2,350
