Slightly different What car thread to normal - I'm looking for a website where I can put my requirements in and see what cars are offered up.

I'm wanting to get rid of my current car - nothing wrong with it but forthe mileage I'm doing, I think it is costing far too much. Wanting something a bit smaller, more economical and cheaper to run (higher mpg would save trips to the pump; cleaner engine should reduce my VED and ideally 'normal' sized tyres are going to cost less as well)...I've got a few ideas but suspect I'm missing a lot and would like a site where I can put my requirements in and see what is suggested.

Current preferred car is a new Kia Rio 2 - 1.25 petrol.

My current car is a Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-Jet Sport 150 - so there is going to be a major difference in performance going to something like that but I don't tend to drive like a boy-racer any more as I seem to have a real bee in my bonnet about mpg...so I don't think I'd miss the turbo much.

Cheers (and I've also failed myself...the thread I started for website suggestions has also managed to lay out the kind of thing I'm looking for...!).

i always check Parkers review site, and Honest John.

more focused on second hand buying though really.

Kias are good little cars imo. good value.
the indicators being on the wrong side irritated me though

go to parkers, click on the Rio you are looking at. It should then put up "also consider" options....

Parkers has a recommendation tool - which is nice...except it is recommending me a Fabia estate - which is rather nice but by my calcs is going to cost me the same as what I have...more tweaking needed.
