Alternatives to Hyundai I20 - £9k budget

[Sc0tchland]

Hello! Me Again,

I'm looking for ideas for alternatives to the Hyundai i20 for my sister, 24, approx 2016-2016 for £9k, preferably more than 90hp... But not too much hp!

She's looking for a petrol and isn't too convinced about I20, but looking for something of similar size and if anything, reliable. I thought I'd reach out to some fellow pistonheaders.

Any thoughts on alternatives, happy to take any suggestions!

Skoda Fabia
Seat Ibiza
Renault Clio
VW Polo
Vauxhall Corsa
Ford Fiesta
etc.

Great options thanks! Where would your money be going given the choice of the above?

Depends on how much space your sister wants

Honda Jazz has great space both for passengers and luggage with the magic seats.

If she wants more fun, then I would have the Swift
