  the superminis are becoming increasely popular in sg. affordable, economical and easier to drive ard the city, they have become the choice of ride 4 a poor man...like me, haha. i tink the supermini race is the most interesting, the race to churn out the most desirable supermini tt is. carmakers are always struggling to produce superminis tt give more legroom with a short wheelbase, pack tt xtra punch in the tiny engine, look more aggressive so tt some drivers can take u seriously. it is always interesting to see what they come up with. recently i have notced several desirable superminis tt have emerged into the market like the suzuki swift, a more sports oriented type, the VW golf GTI, the rebirth of an icon, and the very understimated daihatsu sirion which is more family orientated. what is your favourite supermini?

  to be honest, I have a special affection for the Sokda vRS. Also love the old Swift GTi lots. if we're allowed to being in hot hatches, then the Fiesta RS and the Cliosport 182 Cup are another 2 cars I'd love to drive. Of course who can leave out the Mini Cooper S Works?
