Can you recommend a narrow car with a good safety rating?
I need a new car which cannot be wider than 64 inches. My garage door is only 68 inches wide. I want the safest rated car possible, please. What can you recommend?

The Hyundai i10 has a 4-star Euro NCAP rating and is narrow enough. There aren't many other cars that are this narrow apart from the Nissan Pixo or Suzuki Alto (which are essentially the same car) but these haven't been crash tested yet.

Cheap to own. All models have airc on, five seatbelts and flat folding rear seats. Rides and handles quite well for its size. 99g/km Blue model from early 2011.

Cheap to buy new, low CO2 emissions and high economy mean it's cheap to run. Available with an automatic gearbox. Nicer seats than near identical Suzuki Alto.

Cute little small hatch clone offering low emissions, low tax, good fuel economy and a proper 4-speed automatic option. Decent to drive.
