Well, after some hardcore research, the quickest new car I can find that's "reasonably priced" (although slightly over ?10,000) is the Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 Ralliart 3-door Hatchback which has a list price of ?12,848.99. It has 147 hp shock, is turbocharged shock, does 0-60 mph in 7.4 s shock, it weighs only 2000 lbs (a whole 600 lbs less than the Lacetti :shock, and it sot of looks like a mini-van-like Lancer Evo X!
This thing will be quite a lot quicker than the Lacetti.
the current car is easy to drive, so even the worst driver will clock a quite respectable time since (s)he will be able to stay on track.
With a car that is more difficult to drive, every person below a certain level of driving talent will not be able to clock any useable time.
A Prius automatic would be amusing. ...

IMO the Cruze will end up taking it, as it's the replacement for the Lacetti in the lineup.
Is the Kia Forte sold in the UK? IMO it's be a good choice too if it's available.
Joking aside, I think it would suit them to actually choose an interesting car this time around. The Liana was sort of charming, but the Lacetti.. It's just a big pile of dullness.
The Suzuki Swift, I think, would be brilliant.. Not biased at all there. It is a great little car though
