As above...has to be petrol.

I am looking for a replacement hatchback for my 1.3 Yaris. I would like to go for a larger engine say 1.5 to 1.7. I do approx 100 miles per week, usual split is 1 run of 60 miles plus lots of local runs of 2 to 3 miles each. Is this use better suited to a diesel or petrol car?

Unless going for an older Yaris (1st or 2nd gen, 1999-2011) or a hybrid, you've got a fairly narrow window with the 2017-2020 1.5 petrol. Cheapest (excluding insurance write offs and excessive mileage) on Autotrader is just under £8k.

Not surprised Cinch weren't much help - I wouldn't expect them to be able to give a good answer to that question. Although they should have just told you to ask someone else rather than waste your time.
