Secondhand is an option.

secondhand small cars are a nightmare. I'd buy a new one.

Suzuki Swift FTW! Best car I have ever owned (and I have had Corollas, a Tazz, a beemer and a merc)

Light on petrol, nippy, and really solidly made. Mine was a bargain when I bought a year ago new - all the modcons C/L, P/S, lether steering wheel with controls, safe (6 airbags). Quick and handles like a go-kart.

Yup, I have the SX4, good cars.

Jimney is also a nice car, if I was a bit shorter, I would've gotten one.

ha:erm:

secondhand cars are very good. get a tazz,conquest, opel corsa, citi golf,

they are very easy to maintain and very reliable, very light on gas as well...

this past weekend i took my citi to Durban, got 695Km before the light came on, when i filled up it was empty. got in 49L

New shape Daihatsu Charade or Citroen C1 or Peugeot 107 are my advice - they're all based on Toyota mechanicals (they're all basically Aygos) and they are super economical.

You can add tiny and expensive.

My vote goes to the Getz, but I'm not sure that it's worth getting the 1.6 over the 1.4 unless you intend to carry a couple of people all the time. It's reliable, reasonably priced, fairly economical and has good resale value.

Suzuki Swift!

I have a 1.6 second hand Getz. Have even been in a nice accident with it from someone ploughing into me at an intersection still going strong and handles well. Got it for around R79000 at Toyota dealership of all places with about 55000 or 65000 on the clock at the time.

Seing as you have a limitless budget I'd go for the Mini Cooper S Clubman
