What car

[.org.uk]

Having crashed my Impreza for the 3rd time in 5 months I, with the advice of my insurers, have decided to down size to a super mini or the like.
By the way only one of the crashes was pure stupidity on my part, the other two where courtesy of other drivers.

As it stands the quickest small car i can find for about £11000 is the Clio 172. Any other ideas?

Have you tried walking for a change?

Im not sure how by being driven into once on a roundabout and then a month later being forced off the road by someone overtaking towards me constitutes me being a risk to others?

Does it have to be new???
11k buys a lot of used car... but then if you're trying to downsize...

So how will driving a mini make people miss you on a roundabout? Smaller target?

11k would get you very nice Fiat coupe turbo.....i am biased though as i love them

"Having crashed my Impreza for the 3rd time in 5 months I, with the advice of my insurers, have decided to down size to a super mini or the like."

1. Why is a supermini going to help less grip,less crash protection, no 4wd etc etc etc

2. Under your insurers advice do they give advice like that never heard of it !!


My advice take some more driving lessons or IAM qualifications learn to look a few cars ahead and judge what other people are going to do and maybe open your eyes !!!!!!!!!


As for "Have you tried walking for a change? May be safer for the rest of us!

haven't stopped laughing about that yet !!!!!!!

I'm sorry. I shouldn't laugh, but I'm a bit . Surely, if you're having trouble with people driving at you, the last thing you want is a smaller car. Sounds to me like you need a

[TheLemming]

You might be able to get an early standard Elise S1 for that if you shop carefully

[Big Chris]

Are you thinking new/nearly new?

Mileage as well, looking are you looking at things with less than say.....25k on them?

My cousin has a 172 - past 4000 revs it did go like stink

[mervynP]

You will certainly get a very nice VR6 Corrado for that.

Ideally nearly new with lowish mileage, less than 25000.

Honda Civic Type R? How are they doing in the second hand market now.

One i will advice against is the pug 206 GTi - Crap!

Jus thad a look, think the type R is around £14000- sorry
