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

Peugeot 208

The Peugeot 208 feels like a city-savvy fox: compact, stylish and surprisingly grown-up, with a cabin that punches above its weight and enough personality to make daily commutes a little less boring. It’s a smart pick for buyers who want chic practicality without the showroom bluster — easy to park, thrifty to run and oddly fun when the road tightens up.

Fuel consumption stated in the article — misleading. In town, on the highway, at least 7 L/100 km.
