Which small car?

My wife is now retired and I want to replace her 10yr old Ford KA. She does approximately 5000 miles pa. I am considering a Volkswagen Up - Move Up model, as I have a Golf Plus and am very impressed with Volkswagen build quality. Budget is around £10,000. How long has the Up? been on the market and is there anything I should be aware of? Are discounts available and what should my target price be?

The most sensible Up is the cheapest Up, which is the Take Up. Or you can buy it badged as a SEAT Mii or as a Skoda Citigo for less money upfront. Test here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/volkswagen/vw-up!-.../
