My mum, well embarked on her 80s, has decided she 'wants a more sporty car' (don't ask). She is a strong willed lady, in full possession of her faculties and is currently driving a Toyota Yaris, which she detests. So can you suggest 'a sporty car', not a soft top or a 2-seater, but something that has the 'lines' of something a little racier than the Yaris? It could be 3-door or 5-door but needs a reasonable boot space and, of course, safety and economy are vital as well. Budget £18,000 max.
