WRATH advice sought
I'm looking to buy a new car.
Budget means city car / small hatch. 12k tops
trading in my near dead KA for some scrappage.
Anyone driving said city cars (i10, up, picanto, etc) and can comment on motorway driving? or just generally recommendations?
I primarily use it around town but will regularly do 400 mile round trips to the folks and in-laws.
chairs!
