Can you recommend the best car on a small budget?

I have a very old, much loved Citroen Saxo that I’m looking to change. I only have £4k to spend but dislike tiny cars, what would you recommend please?

Something like a Skoda Citigo might be a good bet - it's still a small car, but not as 'tiny' as your Saxo. If that's too small, check out the Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen Polo or Honda Jazz - all of which can be picked up for £4k.
