So since I bought my Mazda 6 sport my wife now wants a 'new' car.
Her criteria are very different from mine:
MUST be a small car with 5 doors (no compromise on that) Other than that fairly new if possible and reliable is about it. Performance really isn't relevant as long as it is a nice drive.

Fiat panda? The pick of the bunch is the 1.4 16v Panda 100hp. It's a nice looking car and gets glowing reviews. Panda 100hp

If a Pander is in the 'viewing pot' how about a Mini Cooper S, if you get one with panoramic roof - it would be a 3.5 door Wife gets our two boys a two bulldogs in it !

1.5 DCI Clio. Very cheap in all respects, ticks all the boxes and is a very girly car.

All clios are girl's cars, look at the marketing! Corsa / fiesta aimed at boys Clio / 106 for girls! Rallye might be an exception to the rule.

I've just added this to the "fleet" for bang on your budget. Jan 2008, 60,000 miles, FSH, Sky-dome roof, ESP, factory sub woofer and additional speakers/tweeters, ipod connectivity and "Panda-van" roof rails Just had Roger at Poweritalia do the full monty belts and waterpump. Good fun and feels well put together. Remember though they are only a four seater (4x belts) - 3 in the back would be intimate

Thanks. Yes she feels fine - I think she's been reasonably well looked after (FSH) and no real signs of that sort of mileage inside or out - apart from some minor delamination on the top of the steering wheel and a couple of small splits in the seam of the cheap vinyl/leatherette gear stick gaitor - both easily sorted and haggling points I looked at a couple of late 30kers that had the same. Didn't see one with as many factory options though.
