I have a 30 mile commute, mainly A & B roads. Any suggestions for a small, hot (or warm) hatch with a comfortable interior?
Are clios still pretty good?

There are some very good options but we'd need to know your budget before being able to offer any meaningful suggestions.

If it had a longer MOT/evidence of advisories being done I'm just a little certain I'd be all over this 😁

No Lexus lights either!!!

Volvo C30 - mine's a very nice place to be, some rave about the seats but I'm currently looking at changing them for something with a little more bolster. Thinking S60R seats at the moment.

Good call on the C30. Always liked the look of them.

I 2nd the Mito idea. I'm currently in the same boat as OP and considering a Mito.

They seem to get slated in the reviews, but I cant seem to see why.
