Don\'t let its diminutive looks fool you - from inside its cabin the Jazz feels like a far bigger car. The mini-MPV-like styling makes for an exceptionally spacious interior, with plenty of room for five and - with the rear seats folded flat into the floor - a vast luggage area. It\'s well-built and refined to drive, too - although the ride could be a little softer on rougher roads. Two engines are available, both petrol - a refined, economical 1.2-litre and an equally advanced, more powerful 1.4-litre version. <U>more</U>

The new Colt is a welcome breath of fresh air from Mitsubishi - handsome, spacious and packed with standard equipment. Under the surface it\'s closely related to the stylish smart ForFour, but in terms of all-round ability we reckon the Colt is actually the better car - and, unlike the smart, it doesn\'t shout, "Fashion Victim". Inside, the cabin features high-quality materials, plenty of space and a high-up driving position that makes for excellent visibility. Boot space is limited with the rear seats in place, although it\'s still class competitive. <U>more</U>

Don\'t let it\'s slightly bland looks or lack of badge kudos put you off, the Getz is a great supermini - backed-up by one of the very best aftersales packages in the business. The cabin is spacious, although some of the interior plastics feel a bit cheap. Standard equipment levels are very good, even the most basic 1.1 GSI has a CD player, ABS anti-skid brakes, electric front windows and central locking. More expensive versions feature even more goodies, such as air conditioning an alloy wheels. <U>more</U>
