Hi there
Have driven a Toyota Carib for the last 20 years. She has been an exceptional vehicle requiring very little maintenance and is suddenly reached the point of requiring turning out to pasture. Time now to look at something smaller, fuel efficient and preferably built to last. And manual. What 1400 - 1500cc vehicles would you recommend to compare to a Suzuki Swift? (It is difficult to consider veering away from Toyota after such a fabulous run with one.)
Many thanks
