What car! (You love these threads really...)
Discussion
My brother is the latest victim of the infamous Clio 2 bonnet catch issue and therefore wants a new car.
I've already suggested that fixing it would make better sense financially but he's never really liked it so wants to change.
Criteria: Small, black, hatchback, preferably with three doors, less than 13 years old, less than £2k and reasonably cheap to insure as he's 17 years old.
He's the type who's not really interested in cars and has therefore snubbed all my suggestions of fun and interesting cars. My knowledge of small, boring eco-boxes is virtually none-existent and so I turn to you guys to help me make suitable suggestions, especially since as the car guy I'll be the one expected to determine if it's a good car.
Oh, and just to throw a spanner in the works, my mum thinks anything with more than a 1.2 litre engine is a rocketship and would obviously rather see him in a 0.9L tissue box, something which he's against, if only because they don't look as nice to him.
And so, the floor is now yours for suggestions.

There is a wealth of options.
Ford Fiesta MK5 maybe a MK6 at that budget.
Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXI (ive had two so a little biased) doesnt feel tinny like most hatchbacks (cough cough saxo)
Golf mk4 1.4 S, try convince them its heavy, so slow, which it is.
VW Polo, reliable enough, not tinny.

I know the criteria are a bit useless but when I asked him that's all he told me.
The Audi A2's a good idea.
See I think he only cares about the image the car has.
I mean if he had the money he would have a new Audi A3 over pretty much anything else after all...
