Oh the shame of asking....what car?

[MrReg]

Am after a new car, ok I'll call it a vehicle just to be on the safe side....

I've currently got a Smart ForTwo which has been wrapped for promo purposes. When I got it I didn't think I'd use it that much, but now find myself going everywhere with it. It's one of those cars I just don't care about and will leave wherever. Anyway, my thoughts have now turned to replacing it with something else but it will be a cheap lease deal. The options that I've seen are:-

Smart ForTwo Passion MHD
stroen C1 1.0 VTR
Toyota Aygo 1.0 VVT
Fiat 500 1.2 Pop
All are around £150pm on a 2/3yr lease.

Whatever I get will need to stand out and will therefore be wrapped again, but not to the extent of the current one.

What do you reckon?

Get a MK1 MX5. You won't regret it. And the age means they are worth next to nothing. No need for any lease or anything and you would get a genuine smile.

I honestly think the C1 is a funky wee thing. And if its about advertising then funky is good, no?

I do hope your being sarcastic, as if not, you input was beyond pointless.

I don't know if I could handle all the 68horses under the bonnet in the C1. Power like that corrupts people don't you know.....
Funky is good, but what stands out more - C1 or Smart??

I'd have the Fiat if it were me as its a nicer place to be inside and they drive well and are reasonably funky.

The old man just got a C1 VTR+. Not sure what the + stands for to be honest- a fourth wheel, glass, something like that I guess.

My preference would be the Smart I think, or a 500 if extra space would be helpful. Whats the fuel economy difference?
