Our answer:
Hi Mary,
Lots of good options around in that area at the moment. Have a look at the following and see what suits you best - Skoda Octavia 1.2 TSI, Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost, Toyota Auris 1.2 T, Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech or Mazda3 1.5 SkyActiv-G. All are cracking cars so whichever one you prefer, you won't go wrong.
