Looking at the myriad of cars in the small SUV/Crossover/small hatchback class....there are many to choose from...

Needs are...

Not too low
Reversing cameras
Leather/half leather
Petrol
Auto
5 Door
Good economy

After looking at and reading up on a lot of them the Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0 Titanium seems to fit the bill. It’s has great reviews, the engine is amazing as is the performance, handling and equipment. Looked at Skoda Yet, Kia Venga, Ford Eco Sport, Am I missing any obvious others?

Got my dad a B-Max, basically a slightly jacked up Fiesta with larger doors. Easier to get in-out, the engine is sursprisingly good around town, and they are fairly cheap.
Ease of entry/exit, good visibility, automatic transmission and parking assist systems are absolute MUST HAVES.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid, both parents have one with my dad using his as a driving tuition vehicle and has done over 70k miles in 2 years with no faults other than consumables. Mum uses hers for driving around town and averages 50 mpg.

Excel trim gives you half leather/ half cloth.

I'd say the B Max is the pick.

Who said he was a ‘ditherer’?
