Which small, economical manual car for my mother-in-law?
My mother-in-law (who is nearly 80) wants to replace and update her car. She currently has a 1.2 petrol Corsa which is many years old, and wants to stay with this size of car. Economy & reliability are her key requirements. She does a fair bit of "tootling around town", as well as regular 60-mile round trips and occasional longer journeys. This totals to about 6-7000 miles per year. She is open to any make and model, and she wants a manual gearbox, electric windows and five doors. She also said a built-in satellite navigation system "would be nice".
