Citroën C1

Price: From R111 500

We could have actually put the Citroën C1 alongside the Peugeot 107: mechanically, they’re virtually identical (they’re also both getting a little long in the tooth). But, of course, the do look different – hence the separate inclusion of the Citroën. Plus, some motorists have particular brand preferences. Available in three- and five-door versions, the little C1 boasts a full house of safety features. We also love its in-your-face styling, its transparent tailgate and rear lights, and – on the five-door model – those innovative rear doors that extend right back to the lights. This one is a real looker!
