Wife's just ordered a Hyundai i20 1.2

Don't know much about these, any good?

A good price apparently, she just needs a shopping car with a bit more space than her 107. Cheap to run, small and easy to drive with occasional long distance work.

No I think a Picanto is an i10 (same size as her 107)

Sounds ideal can't be more flimsy than a 107?

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.

Isn't the i20 the one which looked a little like the Corsa from behind? I thought it was a Corsa/Fiesta/Polo rival.

Yup I think this is the fella.

New I20 due out in early 2015 according to Auto Express.

This is why you'll see £3k off the current one.

The mk2 Felicia has only been about a year or so longer than the i20.

How odd, I always thought the Felicia was discontinued in 2001.

Why is you wife doing Man things?
She should drive whatever you choose to buy for her?

The worlds gone mad!

You're right dammit. I must have married a lesbian.

Mrs PR has had the car just over a week now. I've just had a drive and you know what, it's a really nice little car, not exciting but easy and competent. Hard to beat for £8700. Let's hope it doesn't fall apart.
