But some have proven themselves to be more adept at their role than others, and this year has welcomed a host of them onto the scene. If you’re looking for your next ride, and only the best will do, then here’s our pick of the three top new faces of 2015…
Volkswagen Polo
The best of the best is inarguably the VW Polo, the rising star of the supermini scene. Updated circa 2015 in order to deliver improved running costs, build quality, and versatility, it remains one of the most desirable little cars on the market, possessing a legion of fans willing to extol its many virtues. Its high-calibre engine is one of its foremost selling points, offering a thrilling drive at a cut-price cost. Capable of over 80 mpg, it’s the ideal choice for those seeking brilliance on a budget.
Audi A1
Our second choice has to be the esteemed Audi A1, a supermini par excellence. Stylish, chic, and streamlined, this useful little car offers a premium-quality feel in a pint-sized package. The perfect steed for touring city streets or letting rip on the motorways, its class and elegance ensure that depreciation is minimal, and with the famed Audi badge proudly displayed, you can park it anywhere without embarrassment. If you’re looking for a car whose reputation is second-to-none, then the Audi A1 is the supermini for you.
Mazda2
Our third contender for the best supermini of 2015 is the impressive Mazda2. Its sculpted exterior and luxurious interior should appeal to those who enjoy the finer things in life, making it a great choice for those seeking to create the right impression. Its smart aesthetic is not the Mazda’s only commendable quality, however: it’s also versatile, driveable, and spacious, with technological innovations to make even the most circumspect of us excited. If you’d like a vehicle with a 7.0-inch central touchscreen, impressive smartphone connectivity, auto-brake function, and lane departure warning, then this could be one for you.
Dream big today. Which supermini will you choose?
