    Another vote for a Hyundai i10.
    Carries 5 in a pinch, very TARDISy for luggage and a doddle to park.
    Not a gas guzzler, cheap to tax and insure.
    Even has "USB sockets" for those new-fangled "mobile phone" thingies people seem to be talking about.

  • Well, I got my car today!
    A 2014 Fiesta Zetec 1.25.
    It's in good condition, good mileage, one previous owner. The dealership was a joy to deal with! 
    Fingers crossed there are no nasty surprises. But I must say I feel pretty comfortable with it all.
    Thanks everyone for the valuable input of knowledge and suggestions over the last few weeks - hugely appreciated!

    Merry autumn to you all!
