Although it doesn't wear a popular badge like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo, the Suzuki Swift is a brilliant choice and one of the cheapest cars in this class. Either a 1.2-litre petrol engine or a newly introduced 1.3-litre diesel are available, but both offer enough power for city driving as well as impressive fuel economy, although the pricer diesel offers the lowest running costs. Front and rear passengers have plenty of space, but the boot is only really big enough for the weekly shopping.
