Superminis
A supermini is larger than a city car, and so it offers more space and comfort. However, they are not as expensive as a family hatchback, making them perfect for both needs – city use and as a family hatchback. A middle ground, of sorts, but with the good bits from both the segments. Superminis are cheap to buy and run without compromising so much on space and equipment. Some uber-popular superminis are the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20, Volkswagen Polo, and the Renault Clio.
They are affordable with small engines with good manoeuvrability and practicality. Modern superminis also offer a plethora of safety features, making them safer than the smaller city cars. Used superminis are plenty in the market with various options from many well-known carmakers. The only downside to a supermini is the reduced space and performance in comparison to bigger and more powerful hatchbacks. If these two can be overlooked, there are not many body styles out there that offer better value for your hard-earned money!
