What UK supermini would you recommend for my rural situation?
I need a car that is economical (living in the middle of nowhere means high mileage, not to mention more expensive fuel); has good clearance (I live down a rough track); handles well on bendy rural roads.
I want a five-door hatchback, and reasonable adaptability (back seats that go down, etc) for loading big bits and pieces. Oh, and it needs to be reasonably cheap! I also insist on narrow tyres, none of those ghastly wide low-profile things that faint as soon as they look at snow (of which we nearly always get a fair bit).
All thoughts gratefully received - the more you can explain your answer, the more useful it will be to me.
The trouble with all 4x4s is that their fuel consumption is c**p. I used to run Fiat Panda 4x4s in the days when fuel was relatively cheap, but it feels so prohibitive now, I'm not sure. I had one brilliant Nissan Micra and regret having decided to trade it in for a newer one as that wasn't so good. Recently, a Mazda 2 which I've not liked much, especially because of its broad tyres.....

I don't know a lot about cars, but my hus-bear does, and I asked him. He said the Volkswagon Polo got you the most bang for your buck.

Superminis are all city cars really Ambi (even though people in cities drive Freelanders)... but I would reccomend the Fiat Panda, as it's 4x4 and has most of the features you are looking for.

EDIT: Hmm, maybe you could get one with 2WD mode? would that be less petrol?
