Can I get a reliable and economical small family car for just £5K?
I'm looking for an economical(with low VED) and reliable small/medium sized family car which will commute 50-60 miles daily. I'm slightly overawed by the choice in the market. Can you please give me a few suggestions?

Easy to drive and economical. Handles better than Fiat 500. More room in rear than the Fiat.
