What's the best back to basics hatchback?
I need to replace a basic Renault Twingo after 13 years. The car needs to be petrol, manual, preferably with steel wheels, a full size spare, cheap to maintain and service, five doors, size up to Vauxhall Corsa or similar, boot size to hold a weekly shop for four and up to £10000 and four years old. Simple controls would be useful as I'm not into complicated tech devices.

We'd recommend a Dacia Sandero. It's a back-to-basics hatchback that represents excellent value for money on the used market. Also consider a Suzuki Swift.
