Thanks for recommending the Suzuki Splash as a replacement for my Ford Fiesta.

Just thought I'd drop you a line to say thank you for recommending the Suzuki Splash. My husband always reads your column and when it was time to change my beloved Fiesta we looked at the new Fiesta and new Ka, which I didn't feel comfortable in. He then suggested the Splash as you have recommended them and I am now the delighted owner of one which is about five months old. We bought secondhand from a Suzuki garage in Sittingbourne. Love it.

I'm very pleased about that. With their small size, high seats and quick, fully folding rear seats the Splash and sister Vauxhall Agila are the perfect solution for a lot of people.

Good handling and comfortable ride. Tidy design. Reasonably spacious. Plenty of choice second-hand. Good reputation for reliability.

Suzuki Splash (2008 - 2014)

Small yet tall five-door city car. High seating position. Rear seats fold flat. Auto is 4-speed torque converter. Highest first time MoT pass rate of any car.

Vauxhall Agila (2008 - 2014)

Surprisingly spacious small five-door city car. Makes best sense with 1.0 petrol engine. Much better than old Agila. Rebadged version of Suzuki Splash.
