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

Mitsubishi Space Star

The Mitsubishi Space Star is a tidy, no-nonsense city car that squeezes surprising interior space into a compact, easy-to-park package. It's not a thrill-seeker's toy, but for buyers after low running costs, fuss-free reliability and sensible day-to-day practicality, it's a clever and cheerful choice that keeps your wallet and nerves happy.
