What's the best small hatchback?
I'm looking for a small hatchback style car, like a Hyundai i10 size. I would like a very comfortable drivers seat, rear parking camera and as a bonus it would be great to have a heated windscreen. If there is no rear camera as standard, how much would it cost on average to get one fitted please?

Would you consider something a little bigger? A Fiesta-sized hatchback would be more comfortable and more likely to have the features you desire. We'd recommend a Volkswagen Polo or Toyota Yaris. Alternatively, if you do want a small city car, a Kia Picanto or Hyundai i10 would probably be your best option. You can pick up a reversing camera kit from Halfords for around £120 - they won't be as good as built-in systems, but they'd do the job.
