  • I'd agree on the VW Polo & the Seat Ibiza.... & will add the Mini, I'm always amazed at how much headroom a Mini has.....
  • Have to say, I'm not keen on the mew Mini.

    The original Mini was brilliant (had several over the years), but don't like the new one.

    For a start, it's not "Mini-ish", if IYSWIM.

    As for the new Clubman, how can it me a "Mini", when it's H-U-G-E?

    Score highly with Which.

    I test drove a 1.5 GLX and a 1.6 VVT Sport this week and I was very impressed. I have a classic mini and I've been looking for a smallish every day car that won't break the bank (any more than it is) for about 6 weeks now. I've considered so many models.

  • I will look at all the car types suggested. I spotted a Kia yesterday that I quite liked the look of so will add that to my list.


    Thank you to everyone who responded.
    I'd second the Kia Picanto, cheap to run, very low/no tax and peanuts to insure. Not a boy racer car though.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
