Right, the wife needs a new car, it'll be new and a supermini with a small engine not performance orientated. She likes plenty of storage.

I know what I like (probably a fabia or fiesta) but what do you guys have in the household that you recommend or don't.

 

My wife's got a hyundai i20 diesel. Definitely no frills but if you just want a car it's pretty good. 5 year unlimited mileage warranty too. It's done 95k now and not given a great deal of bother!

 

Yeah I may work for them, But I never had an opinion on them until I work with them for a living. I've got to say the brand new F56 Mini, Look fantastic and come with many options....

 

Well theres a few to chose from. Vw up,vw polo,fiesta,ka,corsa. Etc...

 

Ka? Probably a good bet

 

Fiesta.

 

Seat Ibiza is worth a look. The wife had one and it was a great little drive. Plenty of kit and decent looking too.

 

my new young lady has a KA, great little car. I must admit, ive been tempted to join the darkside with a Vauxhall Adam though and keep the focus for fun

 

Citroën ds3

 

Just bought a Fabia Black Edition (in white )

Cracking little 1.2 with 104bhp and loads of toys, really smart. I'm a good husband!

 

i worked for hyundai for 5.5 years and the i10 and i20 give very little trouble at all working for honda now and the jazz are bulletproof give no trouble at all but only 3 years warranty i think

 

I work with them at the moment, most problems seem to stem from 'old people' and clutches

 

yep we had an old lady in her 80's that got a clutch three years in a row only doing about 3k a year she eventually traded it in for an auto

 

Considered a jazz to be honest as they are great cars, also Nissan note but the Fabia is a wee cracker in this spec. Very happy with it

 

My wife had a note too, bland as fuck but pretty roomy inside, best feature is the sliding rear seats that give you a massive boot or loads of leg room.

Looked quite good lowered on big wheels too lol.

 

Bought my missus a 61 plate note a few months back, she loves it. Not a bad little motor, roomy inside, got a few gadgets, more than my old RS anyway lol, got a roof rack and storage box a while back and it went to devon, dorset etc in the summer and never missed a beat. A mate of mine works in a nissan dealers and says they never get notes brought in with faults or any trouble. Good solid engines.
