3 CAR GARAGE

This fantastic trio of small cars is available through the Auto Express marketplace, and their combined cost is less than the price of a new electric DS 3

- Ellis Hyde

WE adore small cars at Auto Express. They're fun to throw around on a B-road, cheap to run and easy to park. Add all that together and you can easily create a great three-car garage for the price of an average electric SUV. That's exactly what we did with a search through the Auto Express used-car classifieds.

1 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI £10,995

THE MK7 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a jack of all trades, and more than a decade after it was launched, it remains a benchmark for modern hot hatches.

The spacious cabin, 380-litre boot and impressive refinement make it great for daily life.

Plus the interior is supremely well built, and includes all the Golf GTI's signature touches, such as tartan upholstery on the sports seats.
