Another what car thread but for a good cause.
Discussion
Following my recent purchase ( in November) of a low mileage , full service history 52 plate Volvo S80 for just over a grand my Mrs now views me as a car purchasing expert. True the Volvo has performed excellently, 5,000 plus problem free miles and was a real bargain. I have to say I "dropped on" there.
Unfortunately said Mrs went out with one of her female friends this week and having regaled her friend of my car purchasing prowess proceeded to pimp out my car sourcing abilities to her friend.
Having obtained a brief description of the friend's automotive requirements I thought it might be a diversion for the PH massive to give me some ideas of what I should be looking at as a possible candidate car.
The requirements are , a "sort of people mover thing", "which is reliable". "Low insurance group", " big boot", "around £4,000"
"did I say reliable?"............ No preference to fuel but there's not much mileage involved and 90% of her driving is in town.
The poor lady in question has a Focus at present and both she and I have no wish to go down the Oval badge route again as we both have been bitten by the Ford s
temonster.
I'm thinking Toyota but anyone else got any ideas.
BTW Put some effort in lads I have a reputation to uphold here.
Cheers,
Tony

In the spirit of what is predictable, mundane and clueless around these parts I'll chime in with the usual:
MX-5
Top notch motor mate, awesome handling, space for a kid/partner and not much else, handling of a granny on acid and power of something that couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding but all in all a great drivers car and one that can be had for a weeks wage.
