What small car would you recommend as best suited to drive in bad weather conditions?
What small car would you recommend as best suited to drive in wintery conditions? So far we have looked at the Ford Fiesta, Suzuki Swift and Vauxhall Corsa.

You could look at a Ford Fiesta Active, which has an extra 18mm in ride height which might help on rural roads or in the snow. Alternatively, the Suzuki Swift is available with 4x4 which will aid traction in slippery conditions. Whatever you buy, I'd recommend fitting a set of winter tyres - they make a huge difference in cold weather.
