Quick review |
Technical data |
 |
This great looking modern classic is not only great to drive but our winner with its combined MPG figure. 0-60 in 9.9 means it no slouch either. Power is delivered smoothly so there's not much feeling of the speed but it is there. The handling make this car fun to drive. The lack of power over the petrol models do however make it less fun than its petrol brother. New prices start at around 14K and with C02 emissions at 118 the car tax is going to be 35 pounds a year |
0-60 - 9.9
Top Speed : 121
BHP : 121
Combined MPG : 72.4
|
| 2. Toyota Aygo 1.4 |
|
|
 |
The Toyota Aygo suffers from poor refinements, but makes up for this with a great engine, and looks better in the flesh than the photos suggest. Obviously it also has the solid Toyota build quality and reliability. The ride may be a bit stiff some , some ensure you get a test drive around some poor condition roads. |
0-60 - 16.8
Top Speed : 96
BHP : 54
Combined MPG : 68.9 |
| 3. Citroen C1 1.4 HDi |
|
|
 |
Cheaper than the Aygo and Peugeot 107 but with a slightly less spec. Cheap to run and fun to drive this car should be considered if your in the market for a cheap small car. Despite the excellent MPG figure the car only has a small petrol tank so range could be a problem. |
0-60 : 15.6
Top Speed : 96
BHP : 55
Combined MPG : 67.2 |
| 4. Citroen C2 1.4 HDi |
|
|
|
Hard Edge styling make this car better looking than its smaller brother the C1. Great for Darting around the city but this car does suffer a bit from a harsh ride and could be considered a bit noisy. It also feels cramped compared to competition. The semi auto gearbox is also best avoided. |
0-60 : 13.5
Top Speed : 103
BHP : 70
Combined MPG : 65.7 |
