I wish to change my car and would appreciate your advice as to what I should buy. I would be prepared to spend up to £9,000. I currently drive a 54 plate Peugeot 206S, 1,360cc, 5 door with 32,000 miles on the clock which I bought it in February 55 when the car had around 2,500 miles on the clock. I am therefore looking for a similar vehicle.

I'd go for a Mazda 2 1.3TS2 (specifically that model). Huge fun to drive (better than the Peugeot), sensibly priced, economical and now £30 a year to tax.
