THEY SAY GOOD things comes in small packages, and these two cars prove just that.
First up, this 2016 Skoda Citigo Ambition (€11,950)
The Citigo may be Skoda’s smallest car, but it is big on practicality and interior space. It shares a similar design to the SEAT Mii and Volkswagen up! but the Skoda ticks the best value for money box when it comes to equipment.
With room for four and a 251-litre boot, it’s ideal for urban dwellers looking for a compact car. You can fold down the rear seats to increase the cargo capacity to 951 litres, making those trips to Ikea that bit easier.
Power comes from a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. It produces plenty of power for a car of its size and doesn’t need to be revved all that much. Even though the Citigo is a light car, it feels solid and composed on the motorway too. Fuel consumption is low, averaging around 4.5 litres/100km, while the annual motor tax of €190 makes it an affordable car to run.

Next, this 2014 Ford Fiesta (€9,950)
Compact yet stylish, the Ford Fiesta remains one of the very best small cars on sale today. The 1.0-litre engine perfectly suits this nippy Ford which is great fun to drive and comfortable over longer journeys.
This five-door hatchback adds more practicality making ingress and egress easier for rear passengers. The boot is a useful 290 litres in size, and this can be expanded to 974 litres.
This particular car is well-equipped too with alloy wheels, electric windows, fog lamps, and a multifunction steering wheel as well as a host of modern safety systems. The Fiesta also scores a full five-star rating in the EuroNCAP test.
