We need a new car in our household mostly for the OH. Criteria:

  1. Will mostly be used for < 3 mile local journeys to the supermarket, train station drop offs etc and 1 monthly 50 mile round trip
  2. Has to be ULEZ compatible as we live within zone 3
  3. Manual
  4. Petrol
  5. Ideally has air con and parking sensors
  6. 5 door
  7. budget max £4k
I was leaning towards a Toyota of some type but happy to hear suggestions.

Newest/cleanest Yaris you can get for that money would do you well.
Corsa is a bit dull but plenty out and reasonably reliable/ cheap to fix when it goes wrong
I'd avoid the ecoboost fiestas in that sort of price range.
in fairness i think a small N/A hatch will run for a fair few years and be cheap to run.
could also go bigger to Honda Civic, Auris, Focus etc

Can you get a newer shape Hyundai i10 for that money?

Something like this although no parking sensors

I learnt to drive in one of these i10’s. Actually quite nice to drive - and they do a turbo 1 litre version too I think
