right getting a 2nd car for a runaround.
shortlisted the following
Fiesta 1.6 Zetec - S <good handling, group 8 insurance>
Corsa C 1.4 SRi <cheapest insurance of the 3>
Toyota yaris T Sport <most rapid of the 3>
All seem to be about 40mpg average which is what i need really, veccy does about 24mpg 
Never really looked into the luke warm hatch market, dont know much about the above cars except that the fiesta is a good handler.
any comments or experiences on the above welcome
thanks

sorry really couldnt have a saxo, ive had 2 106 rallyes they are ok, but wouldnt go french again.
forget to say budget 7k max, which is pushing it for a t sport yaris i think.

Why do you want a run around
Cheaper on the petrol yeah....but its not going to save you money! Runaround IMO is a £200 shitter not a £7k luke warm hatch

Just say to hell with it, Sell the Vecy, don't bother with the bike and Buy a Mk1 Lotus Elise. They go for about £14,000 for a good Mk1 1.8.

elises are shite and a magnet for problems
go for the corsa out of those as it will be cheapest to maintain and run
