£4-6k car suggestions for my girlfriend
Discussion
My girlfriend has had her 2002 Audi TT 225 Quattro for about 9 months now but wants to change it.
It's pretty sound but has had a couple of minor niggles lately, she is frustrated with not having 4 usable seats.
The requirements are loosely:
- 5 doors
- reasonable economy
- £4-6k
- cheaper insurance and road tax than the TT
- small-ish
I have ruled out anything french full stop.
She has ruled out a 3 series (too big/old man), a Mini (poor ride unless losing the runflats makes it good enough?) or a Focus (doesn't like them and her mum has one).
The only thing I can really come up with is a Fiesta at the minute and she's not too keen on that. I'd like to keep it German if at all possible, any suggestions?

Bad experiences with build quality and poor electrics in every one I've worked on. Plus I really wouldn't want to be in an accident in most that I have been in as they feel and are, so flimsy.
You mean they have character ;-).But ruling out all French cars when they'll be some very good bargains out there, it's a bit daft.
