Which cheap warm-hatch from this list?

[hoax]

Was originally going to go for a suzuki swift sport but these cars below have popped up within 10 minutes of where I live. The car will be used as a daily. Although I don't do many miles.

Toyota Yaris T-Sport 1.5 - £1400
83k miles
1 owned
No timing chain change

Renault Clio 172 - £1700
90k miles
2 cambelt changes
5+ owners

Toyota Yaris SR 1.8 - £2500
78k miles
£2500
No timing chain change

Which one would you recommend?

Sounds like the line up of cars my wife has had - she went from the old style Yaris 1.3 SR to a Swift, to a 1.8 Yaris. That looks like a low price at £2.5k, most on autotrader are more. It’s nippy enough, but the Clio will be a better steer. Yaris has got decent kit for a 10 year old - keyless entry, push button start, climate, rest parking sensors, etc. I’ve been trying to persuade her to get something different, but it keeps passing its MOT without issue! One thing she really likes even though it is a small car is that the back seats slide forward giving a bigger boot (as long as you don’t want rear passengers at the same time).

Clio job done.

The Clio's a hot-hatch, not warm. Either way, that's the one you want

I went to see the Toyota Yaris tsport and the renault clio 172 today. The Toyota Tsport had really poor bodywork, dents, scratches, faded paint everywhere. It drove okay but feels pretty slow down low. I didn't even get to sit in the clio as the dodgy dealer told me he would only take me for a test drive if I buy the car. He said he can't be bothered and I'm wasting his time.

Also I'm going to give the toyota yaris 1.8 SR a miss too as the insurance for that is higher than the clio 172.
