What Utterly Invisible Pub Car?
Discussion
As I'm scrapping my K11 Micra and MK1 Ka, I'm in need of a replacement PubKa for when the world reopens.
Criteria as follows:
Because this is a car for leaving in places I wouldn't necessarily leave a nice car, such as near stations or in pub/restaurant car parks, it needs to be absolutely ignorable and unremarkable in every way.
Budget is a bit more than the original PubKa, probably looking around the £2000 mark, though this isn't a hard limit for the right car.
I'm thinking an Auris. Any suggestions from the PH massive?
Thanks in advance.

- Must be utterly invisible.

- It must be mechanically reliable.
- Sufficiently decent that the missus will drive it - so free of mould and disgusting stuff.
- Sufficiently decent to drive that I won't hate it - although truthfully, this is less important because it's simply a tool for a job and I have other things for fun.
- Suitable for kids to learn in - If it's a manual and not squillions of horsepower, this is kind of already sorted.

The Auris will be utterly boring to drive (I say that as someone who owns one and has a high boredom threshold). The hybrid version is a favourite target of catalytic converter thieves.
Apart from that, it’s the ultimate in white goods motoring. It’s so invisible you may have trouble remembering what it looks like.

Alfa 147 reliable & smart enough that the OH will be happy to drive & because it's an Alfa people will assume it's broken down.
