Buying a new small car for £10k - what do you recommend?
I urgently need to buy a small car. I need four or five doors, great safety and great mpg and either a five or seven year warranty. Price hopefully below or around £10,000. Can you help?

Five year warranty: Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i10
Seven year warranty: KIA Picanto
I'd go for the new model Hyundai i10, preferably with the 1.25 engine.
