IF you’ve ever looked at the Mazda2 Hybrid and thought, “Hang on a minute, that looks suspiciously like a Toyota Yaris,” then congratulations—you have excellent powers of observation. Because it is a Toyota Yaris, just with Mazda badges slapped on the front and back (oh, and one on the steering wheel). So, what were Mazda […]
What is it? The all-new MG3 Hybrid+ is a 5-door supermini which, on first glance, looks like the perfect alternative to the much-loved and already-missed Ford Fiesta. It’s somewhat more advanced than the Fiesta though, being a full hybrid. It has a larger battery than most rivals, giving it the ability to run on pure […]
THE one word that always springs to mind when I think of Suzuki, isn’t “Value” or “Budget”, it’s simply “Honest”. And that’s because Suzuki motors are exactly that; you get everything you were promised, and often more than you expected. Take this latest, 4th generation Swift, for instance; priced from £19,199 for a 5-seat, 5-door […]
The Kia Picanto is the smallest model offered by Kia in the UK, and it seems to be a popular choice judging by the number of them on the roads. Even the 1st-generation models are still commonly seen, which is a testament to their dependability. This 3rd-generation model has been around since 2017 and has […]
THE Abarth 595 range has been updated for 2021 with fresh interiors, a new colour palette and unique detailing across all four versions. The 595, Turismo, Competizione and Esseesse further underline the characteristics of the Abarth brand with new technology and more customisation options than ever before.

THE Volkswagen Polo has been around in the UK since 1975 and in that time we Brits have bought more than 1.4 million of them. This may have been because the Polo has always been on the generous side of practical for a small car. German build-quality and reliability have played a part too but many Polos will […]
THE Suzuki Celerio is the Japanese manufacturers most-affordable car and if you think that must mean a lack of refinement or equipment then you may be pleasantly surprised. The Celerio is never going to wow you with plush interiors or cutting-edge infotainment systems but after spending a week with the mid-spec Celerio SZ3 I can tell you […]

Already reviewed alongside it’s main rivals on these pages, here’s Car Indicators’ full video review of this charming city car – The first of many more video reviews to come.

Pretenders to the Throne . . . If you’re in the market for a new small car – or super-mini as we’re referring to them these days – then you’ve never been more spoilt for choice. If you were asked to name a few small cars off the top of your head you’d probably start […]
Volkswagen’s High flying up! sets the standard. UPDATED in 2016, the Volkswagen up! is a boxy-looking but surprisingly spacious city car that has won many fans since its launch here in the UK in 2012 and has won several best-in-class awards beating such rivals as the Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 108 as well […]
