    I'm not too fussed about petrol consumption, especially considering work is so close and most of my social hangouts are within 15-20 minutes of where I live.

    Currently setting up test drives for the Mito, Rio and Fiesta. Any more suggestions?
    Fiat Punto? its a good looking lil car and also has quite a bit of features for its price.

    Best advice I got was to make sure spare parts were easy to get a hold of and therefore not expensive and that it is a known reliable car.
    Out of the 3 it seems like the Fiesta is the best bet.

    Kia's services are quite cheap as well. they used to be quite expensive, but with their popularity its come down a lot. my boss recently had to replace both side mirrors on his Sorento and it only cost him R800 at the dealer...

    I have a Ford Fiesta 1.6 Titanium (2009) and I can definitely recommend it, super comfortable, great ride, decent power.

    My Bro has a 1.6 Polo and it's also pretty pimp, slightly harder suspension and tighter steering makes it a bit less comfortable ride but it's more responsive and sporty.

    The Fiesta is starting to look like a decent option to me, quite slick and decent specs for the price. Looks sweet in white!
