Polo's are seriously overrated and not worth the cash, plus they are one of the favourites for hijackings. My choice would be a Honda Jazz like Wikid said or Mazda 2 but out of the option I would say the yaris

Yaris 1600?
As far as I know, Yaris only goes up to 1300. Not sure about the Sedan version, but I doubt it. I have a Yaris, and it's an awesome car. It sticks to the road very well, and I feel totally safe when driving it. Given, this is very biased since I haven't driven any of the other cars. But compared to other cars I have driven in the same class, the power steering is super smooth, and the car feels rock solid at any speed. Cant help with any of the other cars, but Yaris gets my thumbs up

The micra is unbelievably ugly.

stick to the toyota or vw for their popularity hence the better resale values when you eventually want to trade up to something better

the Yaris is cute and its a bit of a fuelsaver so by elimination thats what id go for - the polo is overpopular - so you see too many around - and its also not a great looking modern car - its beginning to look dated (theres a new shape due next year) and ive go the best polo your money can buy - but id still have been happier with something else - my car is thirsty - though id expect the 1600 to be better

Nissan will eventually be a problem with resale values - and in the short term for servicing - you will find multiple VW and toyota dealers in every major city centre - so if one closes down or gives you service less than satisfactory you can pick,chose and refuse who to go to

hyundai(?) accent?

resale maybe not so hot, but it's a 1600 with all the features you'd want, and more...

those are even more of a problem at service time and even more so at resale time

Hey Jee

http://w15.easy-share.com/1699629921.html
Take a look at this thingy! I jsut went to the Site of the 3 Cars on the list that are worth while....I.E. NO MICRA!

and put all the specs together... theres pix too so u dnt have to be bored with a whole bunch of text

I'd take the Tiida, my ONLY reservation is Resale...
there could be a coup in this country and a Polo will still hold its value

*EDIT sorry about the random site, i jsut googled "file upload"
