What should I replace my Ford Fiesta with?

Can you recommend a car to replace my Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost? I enjoy driving it but it has given me problems since new. I've looked at your website and so many of the new smaller cars show issues that it's difficult to choose a reliable one. Your help would be appreciated.

Best protection: Kia Rio 1.0 T-GDI or a Kia Stonic 1.0 T-GDI (7-year warranty), Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDI or a Hyundai Kona 1.0 T-GDI (5-year warranty). Also, look at a Toyota Yaris 1.5 or Toyota Yaris hybrid (5-year warranty). In cash terms, Kia's 7-year warranty is worth about £1250 above anyone else's 3-year warranty and there are comparatively few claims on it.
