It's time to punt her Peugeot on and now looking at replacements. Criteria is a budget of 11k, green (£20 VED at most), 5 doors, not be completely gutless. Shortlist currently;

Fiesta Eco-Boost
VW Polo 1.2 TFSi
Renault Clio 1.5Dci (trying to avoid)

Any other suggestions?

 

peugeot 108 ?

 

Too small and after this Peugeot..... Never again. But cheers for suggestiom

 

I'm on the lookout for a new car for the Mrs too. I've got a smaller buggery but keep coming back to the fiesta. Seems like the best small car out there.

 

Sorry, budget not buggery, frigging autocorrect

 

Looking at chopping our lasses 1.0 naff all whizz mobile this summer

Have friends that work at mazda and Mercedes who both can get decent discounts for me so it's either an A class or a mazda 2

Not looked at specs as yet but best pull my finger out soon..

Any advice on the above 2?

Ps did I hijack the thread? Sorry.

 

What's worrying is that would indicate you type buggery more often than budget

 

How about this

Its green

How about a mini? Sure they do a cheap run about model.

 

Fiesta. The best selling car for years so they must be ok.

 

I mentioned a Corsa in passing and she said she'd prefer genital warts That's my girl

 

Fabia 1.2 tfsi black or Monte Carlo, a polo but cheaper

 

Fiesta or Fabia for me, really liking the shape of the the latest Skodas and personally I prefer the fiesta in a 3 door. But, that's purely an aesthetics thing and it's still a great wee car.

 

The missus currently has a 13 plate 3dr fiesta ,ford wanted £600 more for it to be 5dr,.......wtf.?

 

Why not keep the 11k in the bank and get a car on pcp, something like a vw,skoda,seat. They offer 0% on pcp deals they even pay your deposit. Im sure our local ford are doing deals on less than 2% apr

 

Polo for me

 

I'd go Fiesta or Polo myself.

As someone said above, it's worth looking at some of the finance/lease deals out there too, as there are some great deals around on new stuff, which means warranty and zero hassle.

 

yup evans halshaw have some good deals at 1.9% apr.....

 

Lad I work with just got a brand new focus ST3 diesel, was cheaper than any where he could find on the net. Smart stealth grey colour.

 

Seriously, have a test drive in a Cactus. You can pick up nearly new ones for £12k, the 1.2 petrol is plenty quick enough or the 1.6 diesel will do 70mpg. Plenty of room inside and that bit different.

I got one as my choice of company car and have to say I find it hard to fault (i'm no fan of new cars generally). Wife loves it so much that she wants me to buy it when the time is up to replace it.
