    The Volkswagen Polo Life hasn't changed much since the last version but it's popular for a reason. Still, it's a safe play compared to some of the other hatchback designs coming out now. If you're looking at this for a family car you need or want something that's small on the outside. But does that mean it's going to be too cramped on the inside?

    Skoda Fabia

    7.8/10
    From
    $36,990

    The Skoda Fabia might be a much pricier proposition than it used to be, but does the feature‑packed runabout offer more bang‑for‑your‑buck than premium light cars?

    $16,990

    It might be Australia's cheapest sporty drive, but the Kia Picanto GT is also an endearingly unique urban runabout that punches above its league in many areas, including for packaging, equipment, performance and aftersales care. The GT is also an appealing alternative to larger superminis like the MG3. But with few real chassis upgrades, it's no Suzuki Swift Sport style hot‑hatch rival.

    $19,999

    The cheapest Kia Rio holds out as a refreshingly humble option in a rapidly decaying sub‑$20K new car market.

    MG MG3 Auto

    $12,990

    You will have seen the MG3 on the street, in traffic, on the highway ‑ but it's the first time we've been able to do a review of one. Turns out there's a fair bit to like about the Chinese‑made cut‑price hatchback ‑ and a few things that could be improved, too.
