There are several cars that would fit your requirements but if you're after a long warranty - there are two manufacturers to consider - Kia (who offer up to seven years on certain models) and Hyundai (which have five years). The Kia Picanto is well worth considering. We've seen 09-plate models in the classifieds with only a few thousand miles on the clock for less than £6000. It's a five-door and easy to drive with great all round visibility, plus it's cheap to insure. Similarly, there are Hyundai i10 models available for similar money and a similar age. Both these were at main dealers who will be able to give you full details about what the warranties cover.
