OK, so my 100HP will be 4 years old in a few months and I fancy a change. Now its a 3rd car/town car/never goes on long runs so my requirements are not to 'upgrade' etc. I'd like softer suspension than the 100HP, nippiness (the 100HP's 1.4 is great for Wycombe's hills), same or very similar phyiscal dimensions and ideally 5 doors (makes the front door shorter for ease of exit in tight spaces). Insurance is not really an issue. Simlar MPG is fine. New or 1-2 years old is fine, £7k-£11k price range.
Current cars I'm thinking of trying:
- Twingo Renaultsport
- A new Panda if and when it happens? Maybe with the 2 cylinder engine?
Cars I don't really want:
- Suzuki Swift
- Fiat 500
- Hyundai i10 (is there one with enough umph anyway?)
- Kia Venga
- Fords or Vauxhalls (styling doesnt do it for me)
- Toyota iQ, Aygo and it's brothers.
Cars I'm not sure about
- Mitsu Colt thingy
- Honda Jazz (again too slow? bit blue rinse maybe?)
- Yaris - quite like them, but is there a nippy one?
Can anyone suggest something diddy and nippy? If I go up to the Punto/Clio size I know there is more choice...
