    What is it? Something like a C1, i10?

    PERFECTLY capable of sitting on a motorway for hours on end cross-country. Might not be the quietest or most relaxing, but it'll do it if you want to.

    I may come from a bygone era but the financial decisions of todays youth baffle me. Surely your reward for hard work at university is a good degree leading to enhanced work prospects and earning power. Rather than the chance to burden yourself with 5 figures worth of debt.

    I hate to break it to you, but a Ford Fiesta is also a city car, and whilst a capable vehicle it isnt in its element on long motorway stints. If you must replace the car I suggest going for something like ten year old Honda Accord, you can pick one up with a £5k loan. Better still keep the current car.

    If you really have to change your car, why not look for a well serviced car that is suitable for longer runs, even if it is a few years older. Nothing wrong with a 5 year old car, if it has been shown some love.
