What is a supermini?
A Supermini is a car classification for a small car that generally sits between a city car and a hatchback. As a compact car, they are great for getting around in and easy to manoeuvre.
What are the benefits of a supermini?
Don't be fooled by their small appearance as superminis are actually quite spacious - meaning they can be the ideal car for drivers that want a compact motor with a little more space than a city car. They come with more than enough boot space to handle your daily shop and there's enough room in the back for passengers to enjoy a comfortable journey.
One of the most important factors when it comes to buying your dream car is price. However, this shouldn't be a problem with superminis as they are cheaper. In addition to this, they're also the best cars to buy new because they can be cheap.
Superminis have a cutting-edge design so not only will you be riding around in style but you'll also be able to drive down those tight city roads with ease due to the supermini's unrivalled manoeuvrability. This is one of the reasons they are so popular amongst learner and new drivers, along with the fact they are cheaper to insure.
Superminis come in all different shapes and sizes, so no matter your budget, taste or lifestyle, there's something to suit everyone. There are even superminis with enough room to make a great family car - the possibilities are endless!
