The supermini sector in Europe has always been a highly contested sector of the automotive market. It’s been so for decades, though the cars bearing the laurels have never really stayed constant, periodically being dethroned by surprising newcomers from all corners of the continent (and beyond).

Nowadays, it’s really hard to pick and even once you have narrowed it down to one (or a manageable few), you don’t know if you’ve made the best decision.

For instance, back in the day, when the Peugeot 205 was king of the pile, nobody was talking about Skoda or Mazda as contenders, whereas today they are, along with a series of new names. We even have premium superminis now…

At this very moment, we counted eighteen readily available models, not including the posher ones, or those that only come with three doors.

Thus, pick one of the nineteen poll options below, and tell us in the comments box why you chose the one that you did. Just put yourself in the position of the typical Euro city dweller who, let’s say, needs a car for town driving and occasional open road/highway trips too.

Poll: Which European market (mainstream) supermini would you get?
