HONDA ZRV — snappy, fast, perfect in every way, whisper-quiet, maximum comfort, extraordinary quality and price. For me: 5 stars.

Mitsubishi Colt

The Mitsubishi Colt is a compact city hatch that blends sensible practicality with cheeky, no-nonsense styling, making it a confident companion for tight streets and daily errands. It may not be a playground for driving purists, but its easy-to-live-with manners, modest running costs and surprisingly roomy cabin make it a smart, sensible pick for urban buyers who value reliability over showmanship.
