Proabably a Kia Cee'd then? Mrspablo is ordering a new i10 for much of the same purpose, the new one is quite nice in the higher spec and its cheap as chips. Plus it means I can finally sell the god awful Corsa and hunt for an uberbarge....
If she wants one of those I've a nice 107 for sale now.OldBuoy said:
Sounds ideal can't be more flimsy than a 107?
I've never rammed a 107 with a trolley to test it The OH's died recently, it's 4 and a bit years old. It was collected by the AA, a new ECU was fitted and it didn't cost her a penny.
The package outweighs the car if you just want an appliance to get you from A to B with no worries.

People get wrapped up in the warranty. At the end of the day your paying a lot of money to buy a brand new Kia these days. I've seen Picantos for well over 10 grand. What's that all about?
The i20 isn't expensive and for some buyers the package is more important than the car.It's probably as good a car from a "white goods" perspective as there is in that segment. They have an exemplary reliability record, a decent warranty and they drive perfectly well for their intended use. If I was asked to recommend a car in that sector for someone with no interest in driving or cars, it'd be somewhere near the top of the list.
It is, however, getting on a bit now. There must be a replacement due out pretty soon which will probably be a significant step forward.

The motoring equivalent of Horlicks, I'm not sure if a duller car has ever been built, that said as a means of getting from A2B at a reasonable price without using public transport I can see why people buy them.
A bit harsh I think, What rivals are so much more exciting for the price?Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
