What do we buy?
Madam replaced her 'Y' Yaris 1.3 CDZ which had everything & a wonderful car, with a 08 Polo 1.4 Match auto with electric sunroof (the manual Yaris was hard for her to open), but the seats set off my back, I have Recaros in my Accord.
She drives a max of 2k a year, so do we buy an inexpensive car like the Kia Picanto (4 speed auto!) or go for the works like a Mini (Drove it, hard ride)?
Toyota IQ we've yet to drive but we like it & a new Yaris coming. I'm inclined to Japanese and Korean: the shocks last, chain driven etc. So any suggestions? Road Tax no major issue as we are blue badge holders.

This is a bit wide. From about £11,000 to well over £20,000. MINIs ride best on 15" wheels with thicker tyres. A Picanto is a thoroughly decent little car. The new Yaris is already here in the form of the Verso S, but is quite expensive.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Excellent small car for the money. High quality and neatly designed interior. Great to drive and cheap to run.

Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
