I want a durable and reliable car - what do you suggest?

I will be in the market for a nearly new car soon. I want something reliable and long-lasting. I drive a Ford Mondeo at present but would like a smaller car. A manual petrol preferably - any ideas?

A Honda Civic. It will be as practical as your Ford Mondeo and very reliable.

Bigger than previous Civic, independent rear suspension means better ride and handling, 1.0 VTEC turbo petrol is excellent while i-DTEC diesel is very refined.
