There are so many different types of cars available on the marketplace that it can be difficult if you're not a car fanatic to get to grips with what will be the best choice for your needs. From the difference between a city car and a supermini, to coupes and hot hatches - the following guide explains the different terms in simple language so that you can choose the type of car that will give you the best value for your money.
City car's, while self explanatory, cover the range of small and very compact cars that are popular and useful in congested urban areas. They are usually highly economical to run and their small engines result in lower insurance premiums. Cit cars will generally only have three doors because of their deliberately small size and their low top speeds mean they're not ideal for long distance travel (although there are some exceptions).
Supermini
Some people have the misconception from the name that superminis are smaller or the same size as the traditional mini. In fact these cars are actually larger than city cars and fall just below the size of a family hatchback. Superminis are some of the most popular cars on UK roads today. They are also economical to run and come in three- or five-door versions.
