Can you suggest a small car for commuting
I need a new car to cover around 12,000 miles a year for rural commuting and occasional longer motorway trips. In no particular order, comfort, fun, economy and reliability are the priorities. So, Fiesta Ecoboost 125 Titanium, Suzuki Swift Sport or SEAT Ibiza FR DSG?

Avoid DSGs. You can probably get the Fiesta via www.drivethedeal.com for about £11,000. Avoid 17-inch wheels.
