Hmmm Pug 207...Ugly not that good a drive, but resale and popularity are good.

corsa...the Chav Chariot of choice, Basball cap included. However, the corsa i think is a better drive over the 207. The 207 still has that funny front suspension thing when you go over bumps on the motorway, plus its fugly.

Out of the 2, the corsa.

I would however, look at the fiesta or maybe a Polo?

Just dont buy a Fiat Grande Punto 1.2...about as much power as a Harley!

Would have to agree with Viney on the Pug but c'mon...black is loads better than the puke-orange...yes its a bitch to keep clean but the resale on the black would be way better. You may as well be buying the car in pink if you go for the orange

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Toyota Yaris (assuming you want a small car)...

Not a bad-looking car, fun to drive, good value for money, reliable. AND a new model's just come out, so used prices of the old model will have gone down, but have already taken the initial hit of depreciation so should still hold it's value quite well when you need to sell it.

My 2p worth.

If you wanted something a bit more unusual why not a Mazda 2? They don't have a fabulous image but are generally way up the top of the JD Power list for reliability. The M2 was developed with Ford and shares the Fiesta platform - it also uses Ford engines though.

I only mention in it as the Mazda 6 is on my potentials list for replacing my car next year.

Check out the Honest John car by car pages for more info - good review site.
