A lot of cars these days are boring to look at. That is not the case with the Citroën C4 Cactus. Based on the regular C4 hatchback, the Cactus isn’t a crossover or a hatchback, it’s somewhere in-between.
Not overly sporty, I put this car on the list because it’s an innovative, stylish car that’s as functional as it is flashy. Those ribbed, off-color plastic inserts on the doors aren’t just for looks, they also serve a purpose. Called “AirBumps”, they are designed to take the impact of car doors, bicycles, shopping carts, etc without damaging the vehicle.
