Five of the Best: Upgrading to a new city car

There's never been a better time to upgrade to a new city car. Along with a scrappage scheme that favours entry-level models, there is a wealth of talent in the marketplace. Even if your car is not eligible for the extended scrappage scheme, now is a really good time to trade up to a new city car. There are buckets of models on the market and such is the competition that you can be sure that the showroom-fresh equivalent of your own car will feature a host of improvements and even better value for money. We've picked five new city cars that really stand out, some for value, others for innovation; all are worth a closer look when it comes time to upgrade.
