my turn... what car??

[tezmanian devil]

im in need of some help...

 

my mrs will soon be driving and i want to get her a nice little runabout, nothing too expensive as it will be her first car lol.

i'v got about 1k to play with.

 

it need's to have 5 door's, PAS, and a small engine for insurance reason's, she was going to have the skoda im currently using, but she struggled with the lack of PAS

 

any help would be ideal

[shawdreamer]

forgive the obviousness but.........well yanno

 

plenty of 5drs about, maybe a nice tidy 1.4, nice proper girls car (like Liams)

, I wish.

 

But yea a 1.4 5dr would be ideal, it's not fast at all but can atleast do motorway speeds and is fine around town.

 

If there is one thing I can recommend is don't get an Encore

[ScORTED]

6n polo small petrol or 1.9n/a diesel

1.4/1.6 mk1 focus

306 1.4 or 1.9 diesel

A4 1.6 petrol or 1.9 diesel

late corsa B 1.2 16v

mk4 astra 1.4 16v avoid the 1.68v

a decent fez can be atained for 1k, polo springs to mind

[tezmanian devil]

polo sound's alright, i did think escort, but then i'd proberly end up doing somthing to it lol.

did think 306 aswel, but it's french lol

[ScORTED]

the 6n polos are good cars but they're getting on now find one in good order thats not been previously bashed (many are as driven by kids and women) look out for rust too, its usually just unsightly but it can be quite bad, the 1.9n/a diesel is a good work horse, does great mpg and will pull a fair amount of weight

[tezmanian devil]

i'll put the feeler's out for a polo tomorrow then, cheers dude.

hopfully a decent one will come up

[Craig855S]

NOT an escort 1.4

 

Fiesta 1.25s mk 4 and 5 5 doors and 106s, saxos polos etc, any car, it dont matter. shes a girl

[wwwd]

T Reg Fiesta.

[meekstaaa]

i'd get a mk5 fiesta, you could pick a good 5 door up for that money.

[Ginger Dave]

Fiesta's are great cars for beginners/first time drivers, i learnt in a mk5 fiesta, easy to drive and easy to park

 

nice 1.25 ghia

id go for polo , i had a 1.9 diesel saloon last year , 47k from new , full vw service history etc , paintwork had faded a bit but that was it , payed 350 quid with 9 months mot and no tax , so theres bargains to be had .....

 

just avoid the 6n 1.4 16v , there now finally getting cheaper and cheaper , gearboxes are prone to going though , ive got one and its had 6 gearboxes in 18 months , no matter how you drive them , they go pop
