New small car - give suggestions!

[Kami]

Boss has given me 3 weeks to replace my company car, or at least get the wheels rolling on it. I've got a Renault Clio just now so anything between that size and perhaps an Astra would be good.

Any suggestions? I just can't be arsed test driving 10 cars like I did 3 years ago. Anything with a decent boot that doesn't cost a fortune!

Price limit?

Ever since Top gear played footie with them I've liked the Toyota Aygo, may be a tad too small though?

Focus would be the obvious choice, I imagine, or a fiesta. I've also heard good things about the punto, which is suprising given it's make.

Aygo would be my personal choice mind.

Why not get another clio?

Focus ST ?

I might well get another clio but worth looking around. Price wise anything upto around 15k I don't want to go over that for tax etc

Doh_Boy - Aygo is one I was looking at, I think to do it justice I'd have to actually go to a garage and poke around one to see if it's too small. I don't have passengers too often so rear seat space is rarely a problem!!

Always, for some reason, liked this one.

Clios are shit, too unreliable.

Entry level four door Honda Civic? Mega reliable, reasonably economical, reasonably priced, practical. New Focus?

Hate to be boring here, but how about a Mini? A Cooper S should be just in your price bracket with a bit of haggling.

Does it have to be brand new? You could get all manner of awesome cars 2nd hand for that money.

Corsa?

Hoping to trade up my ST170 for a new ST

The old one looks better but the new one has soooo much torque

Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Twin Spark will do the trick for you.
