What small, newer cars would you recommend for a new driver?
I have a budget of up to £7000 to purchase a used car for my 26 year old daughter who has just passed her driving test. I'm looking for a small car, no older than 2014 and which needs to be safe and reliable. Which cars would you recommend?

Current shape Peugeot 108 or Citroen C1, preferably the 1.2 Puretech, but the 1.0 is cheaper to insure. If going for the 1.0, also consider a Toyota Aygo that only comes with the 1.0 litre engine.

Good standard specification for a low price, cheap to run and cheap to insure, surprisingly mature driving experience and capable out of town too.
