A supermini is a relatively small, cheap and economical car. Larger than a city car but smaller than a family hatchback, it’s no wonder these small cars are selling like hot cakes as a busy world downsizes…
Pros
Cheap to buy, cheap to run, easy to park, often good fun to drive. It’s motoring at its simplest.
Cons
Limited space, not the most comfortable long-distance tourer, not particularly powerful.
Examples
The Ford Fiesta is the best-selling car in the UK and the second best across Europe. Rivals include the Renault Clio and Peugeot 208.
