The Mazda 2 is one of the best superminis available. It looks great, is more fun to drive than many rivals, and its frugal engines and high level of standard kit make it an appealing ownership prospect. True, there are better all-rounders in the small car class ? including the Volkswagen Polo ? as the 2 is not the most comfortable or practical choice. There are cheaper options available too, like the Vauxhall Corsa. Still, the Mazda 2 is well worth considering. The driving position in the Mazda 2 is rather high, so you feel like you sit on the car, rather than in it, but there's enough adjustment to the seat and steering wheel to accommodate most drivers. The materials feel robust, and the layout is simple, so it's really easy to use, even on the move. The big circular air-vents look great and feel substantial, as does the smart, leather-wrapped steering wheel. White, £6,656
