Not only does the modern city car buyer expect their small car to do everything a big car does, but they also demand that it's cheap to run, cheap to own, practical and good looking.

Our nominations in the Best City Car category have therefore got their work cut out in proving that the best things really do come in small packages.

VW up!
 

Winner - Volkswagen up!

Picking between the VW up! and its brothers, the Skoda Citigo and the SEAT Mii, was not easy. They're all brilliant. However, in the end, we thought that the VW's smart looks and quality interior gave it the edge.


Hyundai i10
 

Hyundai i10

If you're looking to buy a city car, you want your motor to be cheap. And the Hyundai i10 really is cheap. However, don't let the i10's Poundland price tag put you off -- this is a very accomplished little car which can easily hold its own in this market segment.


Fiat Panda
 

Highly Commended - Fiat Panda

Nobody does small cars like the Italians, and the fact that the Panda is now in its third generation is testament to the popularity of Fiat's city car. The Panda is practical, good-looking and comes with Fiat's rather brilliant TwinAir engine.
