Best supermini with a "vanity" wishlist

ecgirl07

Looking for a super mini to replace an 08 corsa

Have a non mse wishlist

Cruise control
Heated windscreen and mirrors
Parking cameras
Dab radio

Sporty looks and not red

Happy to spend 10k plus trade in on a nearly new or take 0% finance on a new car. Im not in any rush so happy to stalk models on the internet til the right one comes along.

Thanks in advance for help and sharing knowledge.

My 8 year old car has all those and a long list of other useless trinkets.

Gotta be a Fiesta ST though innit..

Seriously - those wishlist items will be available on a large number of superminis.

At least make the effort to show what you've considered so far and what you've discarded.

'Not red'??? I don't think any manufacturers of mainstream cars will force you to have a red car will they?

Parking cameras! Seems a bit OTT in a super mini which offer it? Sensors seem enough to me although I have never used cameras.

Ideally looking for a website that says these models across manufacturers have these features. Ive looked into most cars today and the fiesta seems to be the only one with heated windscreen. Clio mazda 2 yaris come with 0% finance.

Probably a nearly new fiesta titanium ticks the most boxes.

The not red was a reference to it being the seemingly standard free colour!

Parking sensors/cameras open to all suggestions

Dacia's poverty spec. colour is white

Most of that list is probably standard spec on many cars I expect.

I have - two weeks in a rented Auris.

Once the novelty value wore off (in about five minutes), it was utterly useless gimmickry. Even with unbelievably poor r3q visibility, it was still easier and more reliable to just go from mirrors and over-the-shoulder. The camera got covered in road filth in seconds flat on anything but a bone-dry road, rendering it even more useless. And this was in summer. Gawd knows what it'd be like in winter.

On larger cars yes, on smaller cars they're on the extras list.

OP

As for cameras on a supermini, if you need them on a small car then you could be one of millions of people that would benefit from extra driving lessons. My car is nearly 5 metres long and I have no issue parking as long as the space is bigger than the car.

Also confused why anyone would need 'parking cameras' on a Clio/fiesta sized car

Parking cameras are an essential part of modern motoring, you can see the person you jut ran over without getting out of the car.

Plenty of toys to keep yourself amused whilst you wait for the police or ambulance.

Maybe?
