MOTOKO Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 What would you choose? I've been considering either a Focus or a Golf up to now. I would prefer the Golf but they are more expensive than a Focus so I'd have to get a slightly older one. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafya Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The focus is a cheap and cheerful motor and the golf is a bit more upmarket. Parts are easy to come by for the focus and cheap as well, the golf parts are easy to get as well but a little pricier. Go for a diesel model in whichever one you choose.

Swan_Vesta Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Neither, I'd have a Nissan Micra. Easy to maintain, cheap to run and insure and very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bourne Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 1) Get a Citroen (sp?) Saxo - £1500? 2) Lower the suspension - £150? 3) Black out the windows - £50? 4) Fit a 200db boombox stereo - £200? 5) Fit a huge rudeboy exhaust that shakes the foundations of nearby buildings - £200? 6) Drive round North Sheffield and pickup a couple of trollops, then take 'em out for fish & chips, a bottle of white lightning and a snog in the back seat - £10? Total: £2110 (est) Still got £890 left for insurance and tax, or picking up another couple of birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
