Small car for Arab (5)
I believe the answer is:
saudi
'arab' is the definition.
(Saudi is an example)
'small car' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'car' becomes 'audi' (audi is a german car brand).
's'+'audi'='SAUDI'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for saudi that I've seen before include "Native of Riyadh, perhaps" , "Native of kingdom" , "Asian" , "one accustomed to hot, dry conditions?" , "M East citizen" .)
