Can you recommend a nearly new petrol hatchback?

I need to replace my Peugeot 207 Coupe Cabriolet Sport 1.6, which is almost 14 years old. I now need a more practical car.

I would like to buy new or nearly new (pre reg. or ex demo.) and my requirements are: petrol, manual, timing chain, hatchback, with good reliability for around £20,000. I am in my 70s but am still fairly agile.

I welcome your suggestions along with the availability of new cars at the present time.

The Hyundai i20-litre GDi is a great little car that's reliable, has a five-year warranty, gets excellent fuel economy, is available as a manual and has a timing chain. There seem to be plenty of nearly-new examples available at your price range. Here's our review:
