As per normal now the Fiesta has been sold the wife has decided that we do after all need two cars that we can use.

She wants any old runner to get about and nothing over a 1.4 for the cheap tax and running costs. Something along the lines of a Fiesta or Polo. I've had loads of Fiesta's and fancy something else now. While looking at Polo's I've found loads of Golf GTi's that fall within budget but can't see her going for it.

Any suggestions of cars that can meet her criterea but not bore me senseless when I have to borrow it? Budget isn't more than £1500 as I want to get my Escort back on the road
