What's the best new car for £12,000?
My mother is looking to replace her old Volkswagen Golf. She has a budget of £12,000, but wants an automatic that is basic and economical. What do you suggest?

New model Hyundai i10 or KIA Picanto.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

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

Stylish, good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Refined for a small car and decent to drive.
