Which small car do you recommend?

My daughter has a Hyundai i10 but will shortly be looking for a new car. She wants something similar in size to the i10 or not much bigger, at least as high up as the i10, but the most important factors are a heated steering wheel and seat! As well as the i10 premium what should she be considering ? She does not seem interested in hybrids or all electric

The latest Hyundai i10 is a good choice, as is the very similar Kia Picanto (available with heated seats and steering wheel in X-Line S or GT-Line S trim). Alternatively, we'd recommend slightly bigger hatchbacks like the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo and new Toyota Yaris.
