Small luxury?

Raven_k42

Evening all - we currently share an 2011 A4. We're looking at a house move where parking is tight - parking access from rear lane and plenty of scratch opportunities !. I'm 6' 3" and need space for me plus like the feeling of space. Any obvious suggestions for nice smaller that don't feel too much smaller ?. I like my cars and toys. Thinking 1.2tsi to 1.6 - town driving mainly. 2013/2015-ish. Not ruling out EV/Hybrid. I know I can trawl dimensions etc, just wondered if any suggestions.
Thanks, K

Keep in mind they were £31000 when new. There’s no way they’ve appreciated in value? I know they were a limited run, but do people want them?

I had an A1 as a rental once for a week, there was plenty of space for me, and I'm 1.86m (that's 6ft1 for people who measure things with feet and stones). The turbo petrol engines in them have a nice bit of kick. If you want small and luxurious, that would be my first stop.

Yep they've gone through the roof. The idea was right even if the execution was awful.

All they are do is just a spruced up Toyota IQ which was a very clever and cool car but to pay a more again for the same thing basically madness. The Cygnet was not sold as a separate model but were only sold to current Aston Martin owners as far as I know.
