THis. May struggle on the "no older than 2005" but it's a great deal of car, and correctly driven, for the money.

Seat Arosa Sport may just slip in. 975kg, 100BHP.

So it's:
Sub 1,000Kg
>100 Bhp
>2005
<£4k
Must have a Great Ride.

hang on, I've got a nearly new magic carpet out back.....

Not a great ride, just not a boneshaker on longer journeys.

Perhaps the panda's ride is not so bad, never driven one, just being a review slave

I appreciate how limited these criteria are so not expecting much in the way of quality or icons, 5 isn't bad so far.

not quite 100bhp (94) but a great ride and will deffo make you smile when your going around a and b roads

[boredofmyoldname]

Out of interest, why the 2005 limit?

[iamrcb]

SportKa makes it 6.

Had a normal Ka, ran it for 100k miles, no problems at all. Enjoyed it too.

Alcohol assisted musing....

For a 100 mile a day commute replace diesel hatchbck with a reliable, low mileage albeit less comfortable 100bhp/T petrol, smaller the better. 4 seats as it needs to be a stand in kids carrier. 2005 seemed to throw up cheap, 40k mile examples. May only be a 1yr experience, rather than the 3 yr+ if I bought a £8k diesel.

I intended this thread to be about the available cars rather than the circumstance

Is this a MK1? If so then that's 7 on the list

Oh and this misses the age but does everything else really well.

MK1 Yaris T-Sport: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?m...

The MK2 Yaris never had a T-Sport, only the 2007-on SR 1.8, but no chance at £4k.
