New Superminis

74 New Superminis reviews available

  • Suzuki Swift (2005-2010)

    suzuki swift 1

    New price: £9,601 - £12,980

    Suzuki's supermini of choice for many years, it is now an ageing model in the motoring world... but does the Swift still match it's sporty name on the road? We've done the hard work and found out for you.
  • Suzuki Swift (2010-)

    Suzuki Swift (2010-) 1

    New price: £10,785 - £14,829

    Does the new Suzuki Swift do enough to worry the supermini class leaders?
  • Toyota Aygo (2005-)

    Toyota Aygo 2012 1

    New price: £8,535 - £11,265

    The Aygo was developed in conjunction with the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107. It's a low priced city car but is it brilliantly budget or bargain basement?
  • Toyota Yaris (2006-2011)

    toyota yaris 2009 1

    New price: £10,765 - £15,660

    The second generation version of the Yaris supermini hatchback offers agile handling and a spacious interior - plus typically good Toyota reliability.

    Full test lab results for Toyota's hybrid supermini.
  • Toyota iQ (2008-)

    Toyota iQ 1

    New price: - - £16,440

    It was hailed as revolutionary when it was launched, but two years later can it still claim the crown for the best microcar?
  • Vauxhall Adam (2013-)

    Vauxhall-Adam-1

    New price: £11,375 - £15,325

    It's much cooler than a Corsa, but is the new Vauxhall Adam fit to take on the Audi A1 and Mini?
  • Vauxhall Agila (2008-)

    Vauxhall Agila 1

    New price: - - £13,350

    A sister to the Suzuki Splash and a much smoother design than its boxy forerunner, the new Agila is part of Vauxhall's ongoing renaissance.
  • Vauxhall Corsa (2006-)

    Vauxhall Corsa 2012 1

    New price: £9,495 - £22,230

    With the latest Corsa Vauxhall have created what can only be described as a 'large' supermini hatchback. From basic 1.0 up to the 1.6 litre turbo SRi.
  • Volkswagen Fox (2006-2012)

    Volkswagen Fox 1

    New price: £7,625 - £9,280

    The VW Fox started life as a Brazilian-market city car. Can it cut it against rivals developed for the UK?
  • Volkswagen Polo (2009-)

    vw polo

    New price: £10,770 - £20,185

    Looking like a shrunken Golf, the new Polo is much changed from the previous model. Engines include a frugal BlueMotion diesel and a sparky 1.4 petrol GTI.

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?

    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.
