Quote from: MarkThat will be slower than the rover - by a lot

I know you guys know faaaaaarrrr more than me but seriosuly the Rover peaks at about 70 - this really wont match that? Back to the drawing board.....

Renault Clio dci 80 from around 2003

80bhp so a decent bit of power, £20 to tax for a year, 70mpg, good to drive, low ig.

Clio is a good choice, practical and economical, my sis has got a 1.2 one and it works. Bit of a pain driving one but if youre only tootling round town I guess theyre ok.

Id look at the Ford Ka too if youre under 25 - dont laugh. Theyre way more fun to drive than the Clio - the handling is pretty spot on, and they cost nothing to run.

two things let the ka down -

(i) sh*t engines

(ii) they look sh*t

lol - I just want something that will accelerate from 50-70 in under 10 minutes. To be fair to the 414 its pretty rapid up to about 40/50 but if you want to pass a lorry doing 50/60 you need a hell of a run up.

.....oh yeah windows that open would be an improvement too!!

Mines just had one - and (apart from the non opening windows) to quote Jules.W "the motherf**kers tip top!" However mine wouldnt do a ton unless you drove it off a cliff - at 80 this morning on the A5 it was just getting to that point where it was starting to rattle and shake. Id like something smaller too as parking by my house is getting to be somewhat of an art form - even the council have agreed its too much and are looking at taking action!
