Buying a new car that's economical and reliable - what would you recommend

We are a couple in our 60s looking to trade in our two cars for something economical and reliable. Our budget would be the part exchange of a 2011 Fiat 500 and a 2008 Volvo C30, plus £6000. What do you recommend?

Cheapest is a Dacia Sandero 90TCe Ambients at £7,395, if you can get one. You might consider selling the Volvo and continuing in the 500 for a while because they have surprisingly good seats and cope well with long runs. Otherwise you could consider a Renault Captur or Peugeot 2008 or FIAT 500L.
