My wife has an i10 but grandchildren are growing and she needs something a little larger ... can you help?

I have followed your advice several times in the past and bought cars which were good but not trendy and so were well priced. My wife has an i10 but grandchildren are growing and she needs something a little larger. Buying nearly new ideally. My only thought so far is the Fiat Punto.

An i20 or a KIA Rio or even a 2008-2013 Fiesta is likely to be more reliable than a Punto.

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.
