Economical used car under £4500
Discussion
Hi all, looking to sell my 09 Aygo and upgrade slightly. Budget is 4500, mostly use it as runaround and occasional 70 mile round trip once a month, but would like something I can take into wales on tour as well. Not interested in bells and whistles, just something reliable and cheap to run. Any suggestions?
With that mileage and budget I think I'd avoid hybrids and diesels and stick with a simple petrol.
My choice would be a Civic 1.8

Cheers for the suggestions, definitely looking at a low tax option (£35 or under). Not sure what to prioritise for reliability, higher mileage and newer or lower mileage and older. Any advice? Again reliability and keeping costs down are priorities!
Our family fleet includes all three of the cars I mentioned.Combined ownership of them all is 12 years.
No faults at all, just servicing, albeit they're all low mileage.
The best spec of the cars in your budget will be the Mii Design, Jan 2017 to pre April 2017 when the RFL went up. Look for the one's with the leather steering wheel, and later type radio. That model had quite a few upgrades over the 2016 car including heated mirrors, which I wouldn't want to be without in winter.

Weirdly, plenty of Euro 5 diesel cars tick the boxes on this one. By chance, my Golf convertible (2012, 1.6TDI but the 2.0TDI manuals also) are £35 tax, as I suspect are the hatchbacks too, of that era (Golf 6). Of course, its a bit older and bigger, and would be higher mileage than the suggestions so far.
Budget - well mine was £2000 but I think I got a good deal there. But others should be available under £4500.
