Price Range: £8,445 to £9,895
Pert looks, willing petrol engine, surprising legroom (even in back), decent safety spec, excellent value.
Dull and expensive diesel option, boot good for weekly shops, but not monthly ones; beaten for practicality by Panda, Picanto; with Citroen's special offers, more versatile C2 can work out cheaper to buy.
Arguably a better-value proposition than the 107 and Aygo, though all three are class-leaders
Both engines are frugal, with even the petrol returning 61.4mpg on the combined cycle. Carbon dioxide emissions are understandably modest, at 109g/km, so road tax or benefit-in-kind company car duties are minimal. Insurance groupings are in the lowest possible band, and parts and repairs should be exceptionally cheap.
