What reliable car do you recommend for two pensioners?
We are looking to buy a car with a budget between of between £8k to £12k. We will be covering between 4000 to 5000 miles every year. We are pensioners and so are looking for a reliable car that's easily maintained and cheap to insure. We would like your opinion.

We'd recommend a Toyota Yaris Hybrid - it's likely to be exceptionally reliable and cheap to run. Also consider a petrol Hyundai i20 or a Honda Jazz.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Looks great on the outside and isn't too shabby on the inside either. Hybrid engine is cheap to run and relaxing. Autonomous aids make long drives painless.

You get lots of equipment for your money, the back seat is roomy, plus the mild-hybrid engine is economical and nippy.
