The lowdown on the larger of the South Korean brand's two city car choices...
Australia’s Micro Car market has been a hive of activity lately. Two brand new models have arrived, the Holden Spark and Kia Picanto, while the Mitsubishi Mirage has been updated. Add to this list the 15-month old Suzuki Celerio, and you have a mean little quartet of bargain-basement offerings. Each of these baby cars bring something unique to the table...
The Venue may be the Hyundai's new entry-level offering Down Under, but the local division doesn't see it as a direct replacement for the now-discontinued Accent light hatch. Despite having built its brand on value-packed affordable cars, the Korean brand says the new sub-compact crossover – which starts at $19,990 before on-road costs – isn't meant to be an Accent successor...

It was an exciting day when dad brought home a brand-new small car. And small it was, with three growing boys squished in the back of this small two-door hatch...
A Note from the Editor: A stock image has been supplied with this review. As the theory of Yin and Yang teaches us, life provides opposites for the benefit of balance. Similar theories proclaiming opposites attract also exist as justification of balance. I became familiar with the reality of the concept after a quick coastal birthday trip provided for an easy juxtaposition of two very opposing vehicles...
Back in the mid-noughties, after a slew of interesting but expensive daily drivers, I needed something cheap and dependable to get through a lean patch. At the price point there wasn't much available, and so this little blue cockroach became mine.
