2k new car but what ?
« on: December 07, 2012, 09:08:15 pm »
I swapped the golf in for a 2009 Volvo v50 d5 a few months a go due to a little ones arrival. Then I sold my second car to see how it was managing with only one car to save some money.

Anyway it's cracking me up a bit only having one car between us so I want a cheap car. My challenge for you is to find the best one for me. I've been looking and can't decide . Ill consider anything from big to small fast to economical. Come on wow me as I'm struggling tell me what you would pick

For Eco and a bit of fun: Yaris T-Sport, great handling little car, ridiculous MPG, bulletproof engine, cheap, crap on the motorway, hard ride.

God no, not a MKI. Pick something newish and reliable. Unless you know 100% it's a toy car, your child depends on it being safe/reliable/comfy/practical.

Newer is better but it's for going to work in and a spare car on a weekend I doubt my child will be going in it

I've had a rallye and a 172 Hence the user name. The 172cup is still the best car I've owned
