Baby Subaru is Justy the ticket

Subaru’s new Justy is now on sale. The 1.0-litre petrol-powered supermini costs £8,495, is packed with kit and has a five-year/60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.

It promises to be frugal and clean, too, with fuel economy of 56.5mpg and 118g/km CO2 emissions. The latter means road tax costs £35 a year.

A raft of safety kit is included as standard, such as ABS, stability control, curtain airbags, rear parking sensors and Isofix child seat mountings. There’s also an auxiliary input socket, so buyers can connect MP3 players to the stereo.
