What car to buy?

I need to replace my worn out M reg Micra and can't make up my mind what to buy.

I only do about 7000 miles a year and have £4000 to spend.

Any suggestions for a couple of OAPs?

    Another Micra, but newer, any up to year 2000 are good cars.

    Or if you want something different a Honda Jazz, or a Toyota Yaris would serve you well.
  • VW Polo? They are nice cars to drive, hold their value well. Servicing is cheap on VW`s these days and you can get a nice one for your budget.
