depending on size of car she requires the adam is a nice little car and is made in germany. so may not have a huge price tag / lead time in europe.

pretty well screwed together, 1.2 engine is a little bit underpowered.

Any idea if she'd like to have a Citroen C4 coupe? I think they look excellent, and they're surprisingly good for a French car, and are more or less the same size as the old C3?

If she wants a European car, the Ford is out, what with Ford being American. Jazz is made in Swindon, mine was anyway and it's bloody great. Where is Yaris built, Derby? Test drive them and buy what she likes and to hell with where it was built.

A C3 for the mother in law? Sounds like a good deal to me, where do I send her?

I honestly think the Fiesta is the only one to dodge the ridiculous criteria lol
It can't do, it's American!

Got to be European but not German or Italian, you're basically only left with PSA and Renault.


Well, half a Renault, because the other half is owned by Nissan.

I don't think the Jazz is made in the UK, thought it was the Civic made in Swindon.
Swindon produce the Jazz, Civic and CR-V although the wife's Jazz was Japan built.

I would have suggested the new Hyundai I10, quite a smart little thing but of course is Korean. Tell her its made in Turin or something smile

Dacia is a good shout... or just let her buy whatever she wants.
