What's the best small car for a daily commute?
I am looking for a small car for my daily commute, which is about 1200 miles a month. Can you please suggest a suitable care for that for not more than £12,000?

A Ford Fiesta would be a good choice. If most of your miles are out of town, you might find a diesel is a good option for 1200 miles a month - the 1.5-litre TDCi is excellent and your budget will get you a 2018 model in high-spec Titanium trim. Also consider something a little bigger like a Hyundai i30.
