I just came down from a bath to find bunn on my computer looking at second-hand car adverts. Nothing wrong with that - we're looking to replace the Impreza in the next few months. But then she looks up at me and asks if I'd mind if she bought a Chrysler PT cruiser.

To be fair, she hasn't been very well today, but still...

A colleague of mine had an Aygo as a hire car in Scotland and thought it was awful. It may say 'Toyota' on the boot, but it's really a Peugeot / Citroen. Only time will tell if it has Japanese (i.e. excellent) reliability or French (abysmal). What about a second-hand Yaris rather than an almost new Aygo? Also in that class, you might like the Honda Jazz. I had one as a courtesy car once and absolutely hated it, but my Dad swears by his. It came second in this year's Top Gear customer satisfaction survey, so could be regarded as the second best car in Britain. (Of course the first placed car in this survey has been the S2000 for the last three years...)
