A "what car" thread, opinions required!
Discussion
Hi guys,
I rarely do post on here, just a lurker most of the time.
However, due to recent circumstances, I am required to purchase another car.
Budget is 1000 - 1500 pounds.
Needs to be;
- Reliable
- Economical
Can be petrol/diesel, as I'm not too sure which would save me more money.
I am 21, 1 year NCB, doing roughly 350 miles per week.
Currently driving a 106 Peugeot, will be looking to get rid of that.
Thank you in advance!

What sort of thing? Eg small hatch/mildly sporty etc.
If it's a longish commute perhaps something like a ZX volcane td? If it needs to be bigger than that, a Mondeo of some description. You can get early mk3's for that money but they'll probably have interstellar mileages. Don't know anyone with a bad word to say about them though, and know someone whose Y-plate Mondeo is coming up to the 300,000 mark and still going strong.
If the money for insurance is there, luxo-barge. Lexus LS400? Old 5-series?
Or, of course, an MX5

That budget could only get mostly high mileage diesels in old tax bands. Check these out:I rarely do post on here, just a lurker most of the time.

Mondeo
Fabia
TDi Octavia
ST24 Mondeo
Volvo 850 T5
Volvo S40 T4

No specific requirements regarding car type, Estate, hatchback, saloon, anything will do. :]
Thanks again!
