Car choice - graham sherlock

A friend is looking for a replacement for her Ford Ka. She is going for a 1-year old as opposed to new. Her personal choice is down to either a Skoda Fabia, Seat Ibiza (I know, they're the same floorpan) or a Hyundai Getz. Your opinions would be welcome and yes, I know a lot like the Toyota Yaris, but I hate the instrument binacle.

Try looking at the Daihatsu Sirion - it uses Toyota 1.0 and 1.3 litre engines and is very well specced.
The 1.3 version will see off a Golf GTi so it's a nippy beast, albeit with styling that's a bit off beat.
SWMBO swapped the MX-5 for one and we're both very pleased with it.
