Is it the Cygnet's Perfect Rival?

 I am back with another confusing comparison, that's if there is any sense at all in finding the perfect rival for Aston Martin's new city car, the Cygnet!


The Cygnet is a modified and cooler version of the Toyota IQ, and the closest rival is the most hardcore version of the World's funkiest town car from the early 1960s - the retro-ish  Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari - both cars are priced similar to their bigger brothers - EXPENSIVE! The Aston Martin has very weak performance figures but with a high quality Aston Martin interior and the 'Ferrari' has great performance, the pure feel of Ferrari's alcantra but is also priced like a Ferrari at around £12,000 more than the already expensive Cygnet.



Honestly if had the cash to buy one of these, I would buy a Ford Fiesta and spend the remaining cash on a tour of the World and if anythings left well then off to the Casino for some poker! But I'm here to find its rival and it is a much cheaper city car that takes the prize, the amazing Ford Fiesta. It is practical and makes you happier when you are driving it. Some drivers will think the Cygnet is cooler but sorry people are actually just making fun of you. 

So for me the Fiesta is the winner, a lot cheaper and performance is still similar to Aston, AND it has a 3rd and 4th usable seat as well as a boot.
