AT 6FT 3IN TALL, I’m someone you might spot lumbering around a car park and think: “Blimey, I bet that guy hates driving small cars.” But you’d be wrong.
If I can get comfortable behind the wheel, small suits me fine. More than fine, actually. I don’t need loads of seats because I don’t do mob-handed road trips. And I don’t need a huge boot because I don’t do tip runs. Instead, I’m attracted to models that are compact enough to be easy to manoeuvre in town. After all, living in central London, I start every drive with several miles of what you might call the urban crawl.
