Other options will be more expensive (Fiesta ST is £1500 more and for a higher miler...) plus its too boy racer-ish and small.
a lot bigger than the colt though...
why not just swap for a T-Jet? althought i suppose it would be like owning the same car again...
i actually quite like the Yaris... but the corrola would be better... the Auris out of your price range?
