A compact or small economy car is the most affordable and fuel-efficient of the lot, plus it will be better at navigating the tight corners on narrow roads in the older sections of town. If the size of your party requires a larger vehicle, then you should consider an intermediate saloon or passenger van which offers the additional advantages of a more comfortable ride over long distances and more luggage space.
