Best small family car for £4500?
My sister is looking for a small five-door car. She's expecting a baby in the summer. They have a limited budget of £4500 and are looking for something that's good for short runs and capable of longer trips to visit family in the north.
Please advise what you think might be a good solution for her?

Sharper looks than the previous Ford Fiesta. Comes with the award-winning 1.0 Ecoboost three-cylinder.

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.
