Aygo.

Seconded. You'll get all of what you're looking for out of a Yaris but cheaper. Little smaller obviously but nippy, cheap and comfy.

Aygo or maybe a Kia Picanto?

I did think about the C1/Aygo/107 but was concerned over laugauge space when we travel to airport ok its only once a year but space is still needed for one large case and 2 medium cases.

There will be 2 Adults and one child.

Base models of the Aygo/C1/107 have a single piece rear seat, but better specced models allow you to fold half of the back seat, so you would have plenty of carrying capacity in one if there were 3 of you.

If you go down this route, i also suggest looking for one with aircon, not for the obvious sumer benefits, but actually to assist with front screen demisting in the winter. Its a very big screen to demist and with just heat from that tiny engine it takes far too long without aircon to help out.

My mum used her Aygo to drop my sister off at university not so long ago - first year students have lots of stuff and the car still carried three adults in it....the foldy-seat arrangement is good.

I'd second the aircon suggestion; it's the one thing my mum misses out on she says.
