The Amica comes with an immobiliser as standard on all models, while GSi and newer Si models are available with added central locking and optional ABS. The side impact beams and sturdy engine will give added crash protection, plus all models are fitted with a driver airbag, seatbelt pre-tensioners and a warning light. Although the Amica has not been tested, its close cousin Atoz was awarded a three-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, which is average crash protection.

The Amica is packed with nice practical touches, with the adjustable head restraints, folding rear seats and full-length centre console – complete with drink holders – all lending a helping hand towards making your journey that little bit easier. On the flip side, the Amica’s compact design means that boot space is on the small side, while motorway journeys are best kept to a minimum.
