When buying cars in the past I've always pretty much known what I wanted/needed - but this time I need some help!

Currently we need to replace my wife's 2012 Kia Rio 1.4d, had it for 12 years and it's been great. She uses it just for work & the odd run, c.6k p/a.

What it's replaced with will still be used for her work but also become out primary car, we'll probably be doing about 12k p/a.

Requirements:-

£10-£20kish max. Up to c.4 years old.
Live on a terraced street, so no access to EV charging. (Open to the idea of plug in hybrid as accross pavement charging may be a potential in the future?)

We've had 2 good but quite dull cars for years, so would like something a bit more fun, interesting etc. if it has some pace I'd appreciate it, but still needs to be reasonably economical.

Needs 5 doors & reasonable boot space. Something a bit higher off the ground is appealing but not essential.
A premium sound system would be the icing on the cake! Would prefer non leather seats.

With the above criteria we would literally consider anything, a d be very grateful for any suggestions!

Cheers all

Hyundai i10 N-Line

Brand new and with a 5 year warranty

Mrs has one of these only 100bhp but it’s great fun and has an excellent gearbox.
