BMW 218i
- Efficient for its class (5.4 L/100 km combined)
- Good value in its segment at around 35,000
- Five seats and a 360 L trunk support occasional road trips

- Not ideal for cargo-heavy use; coupe body and 360 L trunk limit hauling

- Price may stretch buyers chasing the lowest possible cost
Mercedes-Benz B 180 Sport

- 500 L trunk and 5 seats accommodate city chores and weekend trips
- Strong safety ranking signal adds reassurance
- Practicality is not its strongest suit if you need maximum cargo versatility
