Citroen Nemo 1.4HDi Multispace Diesel Estates...

Citroen has a wide range of family cars that focus on space and practicality, but the Nemo Multispace is the smallest of the range. It's based on the Nemo van, with the load area giving way to extra seats and a large boot. It's easy to see the commercial vehicle origins, especially in the tall shape and rather boxy look, but this does mean there's plenty of headroom for all passengers. It also comes with sliding side doors, making access to the back seats easy, especially in narrow parking spaces. Another Nemo strength is value, this small Citroen is cheap to buy and to run, thanks to frugal and clean engines. However, the back to basics approach does result in a cabin that lacks refinement and some cheap feeling plastics in certain areas.

Just two engines are available in the Nemo Multispace - a petrol and a diesel. The 1.4-litre petrol has 75bhp and is the entry-level engine, but is still peppy enough for town driving. It's also economical with an average of 42mpg achievable. The 1.4 HDi has slightly less power with 70bhp but has noticeably more pulling power, so although on paper it is two seconds slower from 0-62mph (taking a very leisurely 18.7 seconds) it feels quicker in everyday driving and has decent in-gear pull. It's not too noisy either and will allow the Nemo to happily keep up with fast-flowing motorway traffic. The biggest difference, however, is in fuel economy as the HDi is capable of an impressive 63mpg. CO2 emissions of 119g/km make it cheap to tax too. Unusually for a small car, the diesel version is available with an automatic gearbox. The system is called SensoDrive and the good news is that choosing it doesn't affect economy or emissions, while acceleration times actually improve. The standard gearbox is a five-speed manual which is positive enough, albeit with a spongy feel when changing gear.
