I saw the top 10 sales from June and noticed something peculiar - the Hyundai i10 made to sixth place.

Do buyers do zero research, or do most people simply not care? Why would you not buy almost any other similarly priced alternative?

Top 15

Toyota – 12 417

Suzuki – 5 689

Volkswagen – 5 613

Hyundai – 2 986

Ford – 2 961

GWM – 2 608

Chery – 2 602

Isuzu – 2 121

Jetour – 2 054

Mahindra – 1 669

Kia – 1 416

Omoda & Jaecoo – 1 416

Renault – 1 326

BMW – 1 314

BYD – 800

There's a non-zero chance that I may have to go back to a hybrid working arrangement. It would be a roughly 40km roundtrip, mainly on the highway.

Help me create a shortlist of suitable vehicles, with these basic requirements:

- Small

- Safe, current Euro NCAP rating of 3 stars or more

- Automatic, but not CVT

- Used, but not older than 3 years

- Economical

My current shortlist:

- Mini F66 3 door

- Polo DSG

- BYD Dolphin Surf

- GWM Ora 03

Any other suggestions?
