1.4 engine car up to £2500

[colinrob]

My son is looking for a replacement car he is 21 years old driving for 6 months after a car with a little bit of power so wants minimum 1.4 looking at 2006/07 polos any other ideas

Skoda Fabia?

I had a 2001 1.4 Polo. It was anything but quick, incredibly under powered.
I'd get a Fiesta over a polo anyway, even the 1.25 fiesta's are quite nippy cars.

It's the same as a Polo. Just looks different.

For cheap ins too and plenty of go much more so than 1.4ltr petrols

Fabia vRS
Seat Ibiza Sport 130TDI
Polo 130TDI

All good cars cheap to run and a lot of fun.

yes i know but skoda still isnt cool

Fiesta:

Good haning, good gbox and reliable engines. Parts are cheap and plentiful if it needs anything fixing and at your budget they look alright and do t suffer from rust too badly.

Seat ibiza - I currently have an 03 model. Good car and pretty much a polo so reliable and dependable

Minimum 1.4? MX5...

Does he know how slow a 1.4 Polo is? They are not powerful cars and many smaller engined cars are faster.

You can get a Mini Cooper 1.6 for £2500, so much more fun to drive and less anonymous than a Polo. Alternatively, a Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec S.

for that money not many polos of an 07 reg

its a 1.3 but at 90hp its better than most 1.4's:

Skoda's aren't cool because of the badge, who gives a **** about the badge when it's got more torque than a boxster s 3.2 of the same age

[CallorFold]

Ford Fiesta, lots of options in your price bracket - low mileage, 6-7 years old
