Help with car purchase?
I'm so bored hunting for a cage, maybe I can get some inspiration here.....
Need to buy the other half a small, reliable, cheap to insure and economical...... sub £2.5k car. Just sold mine with the view of getting two but I might wait till the commute gets too cold on the sv for mine...... Been looking at punto's, clio's...... Any recommendations? |

Yaris fits the bill, but they hold their value well, might be looking at a 5 year old for sub £2.5

I'd avoid anything French, I had 2 Citroens (why I bought the second one I still don't know) and both were a bag of sh1te!
For that kind of money you could pick up something like a Civic, or an older Polo - both of which tend to tick the reliable and well made boxes... |

i have a suzuki alto. only £40 a year to tax. 1.1 engine. can cruise at 90 mph without any problem. mine is 3.5 years old and I have 60000 miles on the clock and no problems (reaches out to touch some wood). They are £5400 brand new so should get a fairly new one for £2.5

Pug 106 gets my vote. Best small car I've driven by a long way.

As others have said.. Avoid anything French. Polo/Corsa/Fiesta would be where I would be looking. £2.5k will buy a decent little car.

Another vote for the Polo here, been running newish one for a year now, bog standard 1.2 no frills, excellent build quality.
