My local garage has a couple of vw fox's as courtesy cars. They are shite. They also have bits of trim missing, the door seals piss water in when it rains.

You can't go wrong with a fiesta, mine is a 61 plate, has dab radio, heated screen, air con, powerfold mirrors etc. I don't think you will get much else as similarly specced for the money. My neighbours brand new beemer doesn't even have powerfold mirrors
