Suitable used high-mileage small car - what would you recommend?
I'm looking for a replacement for my 10 year old Ford Fiesta. I cover around 18,000 miles a year. Need 4/5 seats. Relatively cheap to run, but reliable. I'm 6ft5, so need a fair bit of space. Would want all the basics (CD, AirCon, etc), but Cruise Control would be preferred! Any ideas?

Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D. But for long squab seats giving thigh support, a FIAT 500 or a Mazda 2. The best Mazda 2 is the 1.3TS2.

Enjoyable and fun to drive with economical engines. Feels well built. Ride quality was improved for 2011.

Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
