Theres probably tonnes you can choose from, I just picked a few off parkers.co.uk

The Golf and the Clio both look ok in green, the Focus in a different colour would be my choice, unless I could pick up a streetwise .

Howsabout a Golf with a 2.0TDI and 6spd DSG transmission.

Or a Seat leon which is 95% the same car but a  few grand cheaper

   i might be a fan of rovers but i posted two cars that meeted your requirements spot on. no need to be a prick about it.

Humble apologies.

Im still not driving a rover though  :mrgreen:

fair enough, they dont appeal to all (most )

Bit expensive new but how about Audi 2.0 TDi DSG?  Or BMW 120d Step Auto.  

Edit: Second hand audis start at about Ã,£13K and BMWs start at Ã,£11K, give it a year and there will be a few that are ex-fleet if youre buying ex-fleet cars.

Im thinking 1.4 5dr Yaris automatic.  At least theyre not fugly like a micra

I didnt like the auto Yaris at all when I drove one.  If its what you want buy it, but I would definiately think carefully about it.

Shame that the Yaris has won all of those awards and is consistently rated at the best quality car in its class. [cue shrieking violins] I hope you can live with such a monster!

He said he didnt like the version with the automatic gearbox. He didnt say that the Yaris was a bad car :|

Anyway, its all a matter of taste. I like VWs, Deviance likes Rovers, Binary Shadow likes Vauxhalls. Each to their own I say.

Whats not to like? Toyota automatics are splendid. You do have to "learn" to drive each one as they can feel pokey if you dont know where the "kickdown" and such occurs.

Not having driven a Toyota auto (or any auto for that matter) I wouldnt know. However, like I said before, its a matter of taste. Different strokes and all that....

I like the 1.5 VVTi
