It’s a busy world nowadays and it only seems busier if you live in a big city. With tight turnings and tumultuous traffic to deal with on top of the usual concerns about comfort and reliability, picking out the best city run around cars can be challenge. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it, because we’ve already done it for you. Here are some of the best urban cars on the market right now.

Hyundai i10

A contender from top to bottom, this little beauty holds the distinction of being named city car of the year by What Car in 2016. It’s affordable, it’s cheap to run, it’s quiet, and it’s spacious while still being compact. Basically, it ticks all the major boxes for urban drivers and comes with a swanky suite of infotainment options.

Skoda Citigo

Auto Express’s ‘best City Car’ award winner doesn’t disappoint with its massively spacious interior, pinpoint accurate handling—essential for tricky, narrow, city streets—and velvet smooth ride adding up to the complete package for busy businesspeople and pressed parents alike.

Peugeot 108

While the 108 isn’t terribly expensive, it isn’t the cheapest option on the market either, but it really shines when it comes to fuel economy, making it one of the better long term investments for its class. The interior design and overall construction are interesting, if a little cheap, and it has an excellent record for safety and security.

Suzuki Celerio

Another high-level all-around model, delivering on fuel economy, dashboard features, price, and performance, this would be one of the most highly rated models if its safety record didn’t let it down. It’s handling is also less than perfect, which is a major blow when it comes to urban driving. The low price can be the clincher if you’re looking to save that extra couple of thousand, though.

Vauxhall Viva

An impressive array of safety features as well as five seats rather than the standard four make the Viva a great choice for family driving. It is also exceptionally refined for its class, with the engine letting out a subdued and soothing hum rather than a guttural growl. It also features cruise control and a number of other neat features as part of the base model, though this notably doesn’t include air conditioning.

Volkswagen up!

Stylish and fun to drive, the up! delivers a little more on luxury than rivals in its class. With a lavish interior and abundant equipment, it’s a good option for those who want a little more out of their run around. It’s also surprisingly economical to run.

You can find any of these cars through car supermarkets like Unbeatable Car.
