Hi all,

I'm looking for a new super-mini sized car but I have no idea where to start. I'm thinking of a 1.4 or 1.6 litre.

Any suggestions or am I confined to the usual Ford/Vauxhall/french stuff?

Any experiences would be useful.

Hello,

Not sure what your budget is but I got a new Swift Sport just before Xmas and have to say its fantastic. Very well specced and an absolute joy to throw around, sorry I mean drive.

Any questions please ask.

I used to drive the mk 2 Ibiza, it wasn't great but it was much better than the crappy Saxo I'd been trying to destroy.

I'm toying with the looks of the Clio/Corsa at the moment. I've driven the Fiesta which had a good quality 'chunky' feel to it compared to the Astra cabin, however I find the exterior a bit boring.

I'm expecting to only do a maximum of 6000 miles in the car each year to be honest so I should probably look at low insurance groups as it won't be on the road that much.
