We want to go Japanese (after two nightmare cars we're prizing reliability above all!), and are considering:
Toyota Corolla
Mazda 3
Mazda 2
Honda Civic
I like the look of a Yaris, but are they teeny? We have one DC, with a rear facing car seat and a Mountain Buggy.
Can't afford new, and would appreciate lower fuel costs and insurance. Thinking of a 1.4 petrol engine.
