Hi. Have £3000 to spend on a reliable run around car. Want it to be a small engine so cheap for fuel n tax. Will be used to shuttle to work n back (40 miles round trip) down the motorway n little else. What car n engine size wud you ABers recommend? Thank u.
To b a true MG owner joggerjayne you need flies in yr teeth n oily hands caused by the constant breakdowns. Happy days of London to Brighton runs. As for a Fiat they just bring images of rust. Then again so did Skodas but look at them now! Just wish a car cud magic it's way onto my drive to save the hassle. Maybe I should just blow the money on a good weekend!
A pink Fiat or a yellow Ka makes no difference to me. Anyone makes a comment I wud just mince over n cut them down with a stare! Don't think anyone wud make a comment if they saw me however.
Audi A3 - engines are very good and last and last - just make sure the camshaft belt is new at over 70k miles. Only disadvantage is a low sump if you have a bumpy drive.
My MG filled up all of my tomorrows but I didn't complain. When it was working, mre often than not, it was heaven. Need a copy of Parkers n check out A3's etc.
