Reliable, cheap to run, rear doors city car

vintagevrs

Iv been asked for some advice on a city car as a 2nd car for a family.

Requirements are that it provides cheap hassle free motoring and has back doors. Maybe easy to park too but that's it.

What do they buy?

Budget say less than 10k. Tbh purchase price isn't relevant more so total cost of ownership so higher purchase price will typically mean higher depreciation so the lower the better. But balance with hassle free motoring.

Thanks

Hard to go wrong with a current model Fiesta. Depreciation in the first few years is heavy enough on them, which is good, they level out after that.

Funny that's number one on my list but just throwing it out there in case I'm missing something obvious. Thanks for the reply.

Fiesta was the first thing that popped into my head, I don't think you'll do any better to be honest.

Seat Mii/VW Up/Skoda Citigo?

Never been in one, but seen a good few up close and they seem to be decent enough. Seen rentals on the way back to the airport with 4 adults in and they don't seem too squashed, but I'd say there's not a lot of room left for luggage or shopping.

Not overly easy to park, relatively speaking. Yaris hybrid maybe, if you're going down that road
