Can you recommend a low-cost, reliable small car?
A member of my family is having to drastically reduce outgoings but still needs a car for local journeys. I realise that there is no such thing as a "cheap" car but is there a Fiesta-sized model at the bottom of the used-car market that is more reliable than others, and for which reasonably priced spares are available?

The best is the Toyota Yaris - very reliable, cheap to run and parts are easily available, although it should rarely go wrong anyway.

More room and better handling than the previous version. Excellent crash test rating. 1.4 D-4D does 50mpg +.
