£1000 challenge - What car?

[Flat-6]

Afternoon all!
Right so I've just sold a car and am looking to buy something cheap but interesting to replace it with.
Some sort of daily-bh but not just a bland fiesta.

Aim for around £1000, maybe £2k at a stretch.

go!

I'd be looking for a Clio 172/182 personally.

Had my 172 Cup for over 7yrs, much more reliable than the naysayers would have you believe, quick enough & great fun to drive. Economical too if that bothers you, not the best interior or a relaxing drive but that doesn't bother me as it's my 2nd car.

Someone's done 37K miles a year in that. Rather them than me.

X2 - I paid £1300 for mine, which was a nice car that put a smile on my face. Sold it for £2k 4 months later.

Get a Mk4 Facelift Polo, I'm just about to get rid of mine since I've upgraded (I'm not advertising since you definitely can't have mine as it already has a new owner planned ). The engine is so solid on these cars I just can't believe it, used to drive 100 miles a day to and from work in it for a whole year and not once has it caused me a problem. Chain driven and very low maintenance. Car looks good too, just a little small.

+1 for the Clio 172
