Practical, nimble, and fun to drive. For rather small drivers up to 1.75 m there's plenty of space even on the back seat. Useful driver-assist systems, and Android Auto works well. Very economical in summer. In winter a lot of energy is used in the first five minutes to bring the battery up to 20°C, which makes consumption on short winter trips very high.

Toyota Corolla Touring Sports

The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports is a sensible yet stylish estate that blends everyday practicality with Toyota's trademark reliability, making it the kind of car that quietly gets on with family life without drama. Inside it's cleverly packaged for luggage and kids' gear and feels calm and comfortable on the road — sensible rather than flashy, but with enough character to make daily drives more enjoyable.

Alpine A290
Renault R5
VS
The Alpine A290 is the sharpened, slightly posher take on the same small‑car bones — think keener handling, a firmer chassis and a price that winks “premium.” The Renault 5, by contrast, is the cheeky everyday charmer: more affordable, practical and easygoing, so if you want smiles without a second …
