A compact, nervous car, cut for the city as for longer journeys, is essential year after year as a safe bet of the segment. Indeed, compact models are often the first choices of young drivers, urban families or those who want a single vehicle to park and pleasant to drive.

She was even crowned car of the year in 2014.” This list, it owes it to a combination that its competitors struggle to match: “Faced with fierce competition, none can compete with its look, effective engines, dynamic driving and low use costs”he adds.
