my mams swift looks the part
Lois has a basic model, does the job nothing exciting. The biggest gripe is the distinct lack of boot space, two bags of shopping and that's about it, but as a result it's really roomy on the inside.
Go play with one and see from there.
Fiesta 1250. Absolute pleasure to rev the nuts off.. handle OK too
The yaris is a decent little car, and the 1.5 is quite spritely. I'd have one.
