Should I get a diesel, petrol or hybrid?

I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris diesel and love the running costs of it. I'm looking to buy a three-year old car and was wondering if I can get something similar, but possibly cleaner. What are my best options, economically and reliability wise? Or should I just get another Yaris diesel? I do barely any city driving & just over 10,000 miles a year.

I'd go with the Toyota Yaris 1.5-litre hybrid. It's a great little car and was ranked as one of the UK's most reliable in our latest Satisfaction Index: www.honestjohn.co.uk/honest-john-satisfaction-inde...s
