Best small car?
I'm looking to change my 2008 Aygo, which has given me intermittent starting problems for almost 2 years, although my Toyota garage can't find out what's wrong with it.
The Aygo has been the worst car I have ever owned (6 AA call outs in 2 years, numerous bumps starts and starting failures) so I do NOT want another Toyota!
As I only do around 6,000 miles a year, 96% of which are short, local runs, I am looking for something fuel efficient with low VED. Not bothered about mod cons such as air-con but it does need to have 5 doors. I was considering the Chevrolet Spark (I like the idea of the 5 year warranty which includes 5 years servicing) or maybe the Kia Picanto, but am not sure which model would be best for me.
