Citroen Ami

The Citroën Ami is a cheeky, ultra-compact city runabout that turns parking into a non-event and makes traffic feel almost friendly. It won't thrill you with speed or luxury, but as an economical, fuss-free way to nip around town and save on congestion, it's a clever little solution for urban life—with personality to spare.

Mazda is much better designed. Audis are pretty ugly overall, especially the "Q" series.

I've been driving Mazdas for about ten years now without problems and with a lot of enjoyment. The last 3.5 years in a CX‑5. A really nice, smooth car that can tow quite a bit too, although I wouldn't recommend doing that with the FWD because it lacks grip on the front axle — so if you fit a towbar always choose the AWD. The only downside I can think of, after long consideration, is... nothing 🤔
