We are looking for 2nd car - something small, 1.4 (If possble, 1.4i as we like a bit of a power lol)

We have a budget of £4,000 or so and we're looking for newer-ish car, i.e. 51 reg and onward.

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable car with 5 doors?

Norfolk area.

Cheers,

 

How about a Ford Focus or a Fiesta?

 

Fiesta Zetec-S?

 

escort mk3 1.3 ghia..

pick a mint one up for about 600 quid...

spend about 400 on it (wheels and lowerd etc)

and put away the other 3 grand

PLAN!

 

heres my mates ghia (1.6 version)





veryy good condition as you can see...

whole car probly owes him about 600!!

 

buy golf GT TDI

cheep as chips to run, hold there value better than some cars and they do go well



fuck buying a old escort with no aircon/power steering for a everyday car

may aswell get a bus

 

dont need aircon and power steering...just idle that is!! rather open the window if im hot and put abit more effort into turning the wheel!

 

i could wank my self off and get a cleaner too

but living with a bird is alot better

open a window compared to aircon

only people WITHOUT IT think that

i wont get another car without aircon,, not if i used it everyday,,,,, its like me renting my flat out to move in with my parents

 

ginge beat me to it everything he says pmsl

 

when my step dad used to have a golf 2.3 v5, had air con etc and all the goodies, yer it was nice i must say but imo rather have an older car without it....

old cars rule!

 

fuck it,,, lets just go back to riding donkeys to work

old cars rule, yeah bet you also like girls " with a bit of meat on em"

NEW cars rule,,,

but then i guess waiting 10mins to run a bath, listening to the archers on radio 4 and powdered eggs IS your thing

suprised you bothered getting a computer,,,, whats wrong with penpals

 

For that sort of money has to be a golf tdi properly built solid cars.

 

pmsl at girls with a bit of meat on em


nothing wrong with the older fatter slags they appreciate it more

 

or even a mk3 cortina,,, or a mk1 V4 engined transit

 

mate they generally HARDER to pull and then you feel dirty as soon as you come,,,, just ashamed and you KNOW your mates are gonna ripp the piss too

stick with a nice average bird who you can carry round your waist and fuck up against a wall

if you aint got the confidence to pull a good looking bird GET SOME TIPS and try again,,, always punch above your weight, not fuck about your weight

go get some confidence, if you got that ANYONE can pull i PROMISE you

and its more usefull than a bird whos gonna spend all your money on cakes and will be too lazy to do anything round the house

 

306 d turbo

 

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Oldie car is a no no.

It will be used for the missus too so it need to be run well and not breaking down too often!

I should have mentioned this earlier but... Insurance and road tax is also an concern. Need to be in cheaper range.

Will look over this post tomorrow and see what car we can find around Norfolk.

Cheers,

 

You'd probably get a 2002/2003 Fiesta 1.4 TDCi Zetec or Duratorq for the money. Great little car, about 64bhp but with 120 lbs/ft - so quite torquey. They are economical, cheap to tax (£35 a year) and to insure.

I've had one as my 2nd car for the last 12 months and it's great

 

There's plenty of choice in your price range but a lot of dogs about, the Corsas are low insurance, the Fiestas are nice to drive.... you can even go renault if you're feeling brave with a clio or scenic?

If you can stretch your budget a little, I have a couple of nice 1.6 Civics which in my opinion are the best value for money on the road. Plus the insurance groups are VERY low [don't know them off the top of my head].

 

have pulled some crsackers in my time but im married with kids now

not had another hole for 7 years

 

get a honda civic 1.4

cheap to run, cheap to ensure, reasonable power (90bhp for a 1.4) and it wont break down

 

fiesta tdci as said above, so cheap to run and very reliable
