matssundin13 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 1. Are French cars really that bad? 2. Are Rovers any good? 3. What's the best make and model for under a grand? (nothing bigger than a 1.4) 1. Yes, that's why CRaP is french cars. Citroen Renault and Peugeot. Having owned both a Renault and Peugeot, I would never again buy one of these heaps. 2. No treally 3. Seat Ibiza / Arosa, VW polo or Ford Fiesta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyrad29 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Don't buy a Rover, they really aren't great. There's a broken one sat on my driveway as I type. Not reliable and parts are difficult to get hold of now. you cant say that just because you have a bad example, I have had a ZR now for 2 years and it has been more reliable than my similar aged ford focus. you can still get parts from Pentagon in sheffield and Eric Steads or online at http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrad29 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 all i can say is avoid french cars full stop, they have poor build quality and have many electrical problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geraldo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Nissan Micra are tops for running costs, reliability, low maintenance etc. Low road tax too. They are expensive to buy, but well worth the extra costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
