Title: More new car ideas.
Post by: soopahfly on April 11, 2008, 08:56:17 AM
Looking at getting something smallish, reliable and nippy.  Max budget is about £5k seeing as were not buying a house yet.
Delica is too thirsty and the Cinq is just a buzz box.

So far found 2001/2002 Ford Puma 1.7 Thunder with satnav, leather and about 38k fsh for about 4.5k.

Any other suggestions?

how important is economy?

54/05 Renault Clio 1.5 dci 80 is my next purchase.

£20 py tax, 67mpg, IG4

the mother in law has one and it pretty nice to be in, plenty of poke and fun in the corners.

Yaris T-Sport thrown into the mix.  Not interested in french or diesel.  With the cost of diesel I dont think it would work out that more economical with the price per mile.

A3s seem to be over priced, would consider a golf or a skoda, but she wouldnt.

If it was just for me, itd be 200sx or MR2 Tubby but shes not interested.

The womenfolk should never be allowed a say in car choices, just as we would less likely get a choice in the carpets and curtains.

Superman the ho, and get your 200sx :lol:

Exactly!

Only aspect I had to deal with was the need for a 5 Door due to the young one!
