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

Suzuki Ignis

The Suzuki Ignis is a cheeky compact crossover that turns city chores into cheerful adventures, with chunky styling and a surprisingly practical cabin. It won't pretend to be a sports car, but its nimble manners, low running costs and ample personality make it an ideal pick for urban buyers who want fun without pretension.
