Best SMALL car (Europe)

>The Hyundai i10 is nearly perfect but is a little big
If you're making a fuss about five centimeters you've got some serious issues.

It has to be UNDER 160, because in my garage I only have 350cm. I can get a few more by digging into the walls, but even 160 would be too much. Unfortunately I don't own a garage and if I don't want to leave the car outside every day I have to get it as small as possible.

In red in this diagram you see the impact points where I can dig into to make it easier to get in.

What's the advantage of getting an ancient car like that exactly?

In that case I'm relatively certain that kei cars are your major source for candidates. On the European market those include:
- Daihatsu Cuore (Daihatsu closed distribution two years ago but still maintain a repair shop network)
- Suzuki Wagon R/Opel Agila (built until 2006 so the oldest models in this comparison)
- Suzuki Jimny which to my knowledge is the only actual kei car still in production for Europe

- The Renault Twingo is barely scraping on the 3,60m mark, also the new generation has just been released and is slightly out of your budget for a new car, but used ones are worth a look
- Smarts are complete pieces of junk, don't bother

But what's the advantage? I'd have to buy a used car, which is inevitably going to have all kinds of issue considering the age. It would also be unsafe compared to newer cars.

Fiesta ST? :D

skoda fabia 10k for crap spec
12.5 for the 110hp manuel with ac, nice options like lowered springs, sports seats, nice audio and actually usefull crap
if i would need to buy a new dd it would be that.

A newer Version of the Twingo?
What about the Kia Picanto?

All of this for 5k € tops.

Dunno if its too big but I live in the US, and drive for mostly the same reasons. I have an 08' Toyota Yaris, which may not be the prettiest thing, but for $8000 and 50k mileage, I feel it was worth it. I use it for highway driving too and it has a decent amount of power for passing. Had it for 2 years and put 20k miles on it with no problems and average 38mpg.

What do you guys think of the 2nd gen Aygo? I've read all kinds of review for all these cars and the Aygo seems the best.

Let's also get something out of the way

Toyota had some fuck ups the last years, but it's still known to be a good brand, at least here.
Have you looked at the Mazda 2?

>>13996724
Yes, it's a very nice car but too expensive and overkill power.

>>13996151
Best small car is a large motorcycle

>>13996589
5k? More like 2k tops.
Hell, running shitters with registration can be had as low as €500.

>>13996745
haha wat?

>>13996745
>expensive

>shitters
That's the problem. I believe that if you want a decently maintained runner you'd have to pay like 1-1.5k €. Plus extra expenses if you want to do some mods like a custom stereo or whatever. 5k € was a bit exaggerated, yeah.

>>13998029
Yeah, just under 1k for a base model in decent shape to 2.5k tops for a well-maintained 16v.
Still, it's not hard to get those shitters back to somewhat roadworthy condition.

And you don't even know where he's from... Where I live a used 120i will fetch more than 10k.

>>13998811
he was talking euros so hes probably european and he can always import a car from germany or france
also the 1 series e87 is pretty reliable

>>13999250
You talk like it's cheap to import a car from France or Germany.

>>13999316
It's cheap to import a car from Japan, why not Germany or France?

>>13999352
Not when the import costs and tax equals what you pay for a car with a plate from your country.
