The what car for a fussy girlfriend challenge

[seany87]

My girlfriend is after her first car. Budget is 4k tops. In her words she wants a car that is "cute and small with a boxy shape, Economical but fun, and not uncool." Ive already determined she likes ford pumas, the new minis, mitos and she just loves fiat 500s in pink Just thought id ask on here for other suggestions, the more unique the better, oh, age of the car isnt too important. Sorry about grammar im on a mobile

A lupo gti is the answer.

More unique? Not possible to have stages of uniqueness I'm afraid. It either is or it isn't.

Maybe individual, rare or custom would suit the bill?

My suggestion, don't suggest anything as you'll be wrong anyway. Sorry couldn't resist, for her budget it obviously throws the 500 out of the list of possibles, but she might be able to get a MINI on that budget. Failing that Pug 107/Cit C1/Toyota Aygo should fall within budget and for a first car she could do a lot worse

If she likes the Puma perhaps a KA Sport. Great little chassis...

How about a VW Golf, not really cute though, cant describe cars as cute thats wrong!

[paulpsz008]

If she like Puma's get her a Puma. Derrr...

[da_murphster]

Puma definitely - great great cars.

Just so happens I am about to have one for sale........

Don't dismiss the 1.4 if its her first car - still great fun.

[seany87]

I dont think she minds the lupos. Ive driven a 1.4 sport and it was great. Streetka would fit the bill I suppose but she doesnt like fords really, as do I

Her words, not mine

She would like an 'individual' car if possible, round our way every girl aspires to either a MINI cooper or a new beetle.

Just want to gather as many suggestions for her as possible rather than jumping into it head first and regretting it.

Smart? There will be loads of ForTwo's and cabrios for that price, you might squeeze a Roadster or ForFour. £4k and economical, yes. ForTwo's are boxy. Cute fun and not uncool depends on your (and her) definition of those things

A few from PH classifieds.

You first

Smart Roadster! forgot about that one, excellent contribution. Just shown her and she likes it which is nice as Id love to have a go in one

[schmalex]

I honestly never thought I would do a Google images search for "Nissan Figaro + pink"

No idea how much they go for, but I would've thought £5k should cover one

She doesn't seem to know what boxy means.
