Even taking in to account that this is a Ford forum I still think that the Fraud Siesta (Ford Fiesta[/URL] - sorry it's an old joke from an Iain Banks novel) is the best, Polo second and some very good Euros filling up the minor placings.

I don't know what they have against Fords but apparently it's non-negotiable and a deal breaker. They test drove the Mazda 2 (the Fiesta's prettier if slightly worse handling sister) & still thought that the Polo was more "them".

They are good people, not badge snobs. This will be their first new car and I think that it'll be around for a while so they want to chose right.

Eight on this page here so some are available.

Perhaps it is time to see if they can buy interstate and have it transported or run it in on a road trip.
