Recommend me a car

1) IMO, Puegeots and Citroens are ok-ish (mostly the same bits). Renaults are cack

 

2) No. They were about 20 years ago

 

3) Fiesta or Polo

[GrannyGranny]

You can't go wrong with a Fiesta.

Cheap to run & insure.

No major reliability issues.

Not that bad to drive and still look ok.

 

or a Micra

Thanks everyone. I really like the Suzuki, it's purple as well (I'm such a girl ), so hopefully it'll drive okay and I can get it tomorrow, otherwise it's back to the drawing board.

And I really agree with this we have had a few fiesta's and they have always been reliable and cheap.

I have a new 10 reg citroen grand picasso now an it is far too complicated I tell you to many gadgets. But really handy or luggin our male lab in and the 7 seats for kids and friends and who ever else.I would give it up for a fiesta lol, but kids and dog come as standard hehe

Just had a Fiesta so not really interested in another one, though I know what you mean, it was a nippy little thing.

ford focus

 

I like them, bit out of my price range for one that's not falling apart though.

Hw about an escort you can get quiet a good one for the money you have. OR a corsa .

Yeah, a Corsa has always been my first choice but they keep getting snapped up before I can get to them. A lot of people on autotrader don't seem to answer their phones either (I've tried at different times of day/ evening).

I've got an old (Mark 4) Fiesta. Its really easy to drive, no problems in the 7 months I have owned it. Mines a 1.8L Diesel, but you might want a smaller engine if its your first car due to insurance costs. I see loads of old Fiestas driving around of a similar age to mine and some even older. Also, it was pretty good in the snow.

I had a Polo, it wasn't very stable when cornering, felt like it was going to tip over sometimes. I'm not sure if this is typical of Polos or just the one I drove!
