What small car would suit me for about €3,000?

I'm looking for a reliable, economical car maybe 1.0-1.2-litre engine (keeping tax low) for school run/mammy taxi with a budget of about €3,000 - €3,500.

Thanks

Hi Valerie,

If you're looking for something reliable for just doing short trips then get yourself a Toyota Yaris. I know, I know, not the most exciting car in the world, but reliable as the day is long and with a 1.0-litre engine (that's surprisingly peppy and powerful) your tax bills will be as affordable as possible.
