My wife and I intend to make regular trips to Nice, France, in the future, and we are trying to decide which would be the best left-hand drive car to buy for use there. It needs to be small, about 18 months old, economical and reliable. Ideally, it should be an automatic too. It would be left in a garage for up to two months at a time. Would some sort of trickle-charger be safe to use to keep the battery powered up? Would you recommend buying in Britain or France? So far we have come up with a shortlist of the Fiat 500, Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1.
