new car question

Nobody's suggested the Skoda Fabia. Compared to a Corsa, 207, Fiesta, Clio, Polo, Yaris etc it's a bargain, better specced, better built, more reliable, cheap to buy, run and insure.

Ok, it's a Skoda, but if you drive a Corsa, brand snobbery obviously isn't that important. It's still a VW Polo underneath the badge, and it's a bloody sight cheaper.

Ditto to most of the responses on here. Stay away from the nice bright colours. Very hard to re-sell.
Black are a bugger to keep clean, I had a gorgeous Polo TDI Colour Concept., but I used to keep it looking clean with goodpolish/wax. Zymol!

As far as Peugeot 207's are concerned, have a drive in one, then a go in a new Fiesta. The new Fords are miles better than the older models, probably a leap in improvments comparible to the old Astra to the new Astra in the Vauxhall range. Give them a go.
I've had, a ford, Peugeot, Nissan and VW.
Out of all of theose I'd defo say try a VW. Build quality is excellent, just test drive the beasts first.

I'd agree with that too. Mate has a SKODA VRS fabia!

Fast as a FAST THING! 1.9 Tdi, Gold engine, with 144BHP and 300 odd Llb Foot torque!!

And pick one up brand spanking for well under 12 grand if you haggle. Bargain.

Thumping TDi motor, friend has a Ibiza FR with this lump and it pulls very well

I have a Mazda 6, and it's a great car.
I wouldn't buy the 2 tho' - it's not built in Japan. I'd much prefer the 3 (esp the MPS)
Cheap insurance on the Mazda too

As for the 207 / Corsa - it would have to be the pug.
There are just so many good deals on the mid-size cars - Mondeo sized - that make them such a good buy against the little cars. They can tow a bike trailer too.
