    Ofcourse there are other options to consider. For the market of car you're after pretty much all the mainstream manufacturers produce something that'll be suitable for you. Think Corsa, Fiesta, Clio, 208, i20, Mini, Polo, Ibiza.... etc (there will be more)

    If you're buying new, go out and try as many as you like the look of, and make your mind up based on the right combination of practicality, package, and price. They'll all be under new car warranty so there is no real right answer to your question, it's very subjective.

    Personally speaking I don't like French cars, but that's me, some love them. Hyundais and Kias seem to offer the best 'bang for buck' and very good long warranty packages. But if you're a badge snob and want a VW or Audi parked outside expect to pay more for it, you won't get Waitrose produce for Aldi prices...

    And yes, the Micra is a more than decent supermini.

    Thanks so much for your suggestions. Looks like I'll be taking a lot of test drives! :D

    Oh really. I haven't looked at a Mazda. What do you like about it?

    I’m looking at buying a new car but I am being very fussy! It has to be an automatic (can’t drive manual), looking for 5 doors with decent room inside but I don’t want a big car. I want it to be quite techy, reliable and not expensive to run. I’m thinking of a petrol version of the new Nissan Micra. Am I missing a trick - are there other choices I should consider?
