I've been driving the Symbioz Full Hybrid with the iconic trim for 3,500 km. I test-drove both cars. I think the win goes to the Symbioz. Good quality at a family-friendly price. Unfortunately the Opel is simply too expensive. Strangely, what never really gets mentioned is that the Symbioz's suspension is absolutely superb.

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.
