Need a small and safe city car – what would you recommend?

I need to upgrade from my Smart Fortwo to transport me and my three year old. The car must be small as parking is a nightmare where I live, but as safe as possible. I have around £5000 to spend. What should I get? Fiat 500? Ford KA? Volkswagen Polo?

A FIAT 500 and a Ford KA are the same car. The FIAT is more stylish. The KA is a lot cheaper. Both are more reliable than a Polo and have excellent front seats. But for strapping a small child into a child seat in the back of a car you really need 4 doors. Hyundai i10, FIAT Panda, that sort of thing.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.

I am a keen fan of the Ford Ka model. I believe it is due to be replaced later this year. So when would be the best time to negotiate a good deal in the showroom on the present model?
