For the missus, just needs to be reliable, and hassle free motoring

Power, MPG and creature comforts don't matter, just reliability, no big common faults etc!

 

A Honda civic is a good reliable car, my father has one and its amazing on fuel for a 1.6

 

Got a nice little fiesta zetec-s for sale

 

Cheers Daz

Yeah I see that Paul, not exactly reliable though are they

 

Civic 1.6, focus 1.6 or festa 1.25 won't go too wrong will they

 

Does she do a lot of miles?

 

C max 1800 / 2000 will be ok. Not mint on fuel maybe - reliable tho. Diesel - usual tdci stuff lol.

2.5k gets you a good 2004 / 2005 plate.

 

what sort of size?

something jap i would go for

 

She doesn't do many miles at the moment no, and something small size wise! She's a nightmare as it is, god knows what she'd be like with some power under her foot

 

Honda Jazz? My wife had a Nissan note for a bit, that was good on juice and roomy inside. Looked alright slammed on a big set of wheels too lol

 

fezza my missus as had hers 7 yrs 03 plate and all its cost is a clutch

 

Pug 307 1.4HDi..........

 

Vw beetle?

 

What about your Octavia VRS, good looking reliable car

 

smiley face transit,
banana engine , cast block never need to check water oil etc
,lots of space for all the rubbish woman collect
big mirrors to aid painting on make up whilst on motorways etc
bull bars to aid women parking
again lots of room for teddies etc in the back
big tyres for all those 20mph kerb bumps

as the engine slackens off and looses power the shell rots off giving even mpg and power to weight for all its life and can be picked up for no more than some scrap a nice dog and the spare change in your pocket off almost any pikey , also very eco friendly as it will only take one misses to pickup all the local kids on the school run whilst the rest swan about drinking wine moaning about men ,

WIN/WIN if you ask me lol

 

Mk4 Golf 1.9 TDI PD100. I bought one gave it an economy remap. Perfect for my needs

 

Fantastic post for a Monday morning. Lol.

I'd go map as well. Ep3 shape civic. 1.4 or 1.6. Or a mk6 fiesta zetec s. I got a 5 st the other day for 2 k so a zs must be the same money.

 

Its sunday zippy!

 

Exactly what I was thinking! Fuck me you must have had a good Saturday night to bypass the whole of Sunday!

 

If it's for the missus just to potter around in and performance, or looks, isn't a factor, but reliability and running costs are, I'd say it's gotta be the mk7 Civic (2001-2005). Surprising amount of space inside, nice enough to drive, nippy little thing, and Honda's famed reliability

Pick up a 1.4 or 1.6 for circa £2k, preferably buy one off an old couple so you know it's most likely to have been serviced instead of ragged

 

Shit. Lol

Gotta be honest I'm still sooooo pissed from last night lol. Got a desperado hang over :/

 

lol

 

Chicks always think they need a small car, when we got our black saff she said it was too big to drive....... When it was that or nothing she drove it and loved it, same with the discovery

 

true, my mrs loves big motors

 

my mrs went from a micra 1.0 to a bmw 328i and finds the bm easier to drive. so far weve had zero snow and minimal ice though. my escort scares her shitless though.
