I've Fallen In Love With A Used Car

[Treacle71]

It's a Toyota Aygo, but the boot is too small! It's perfect in costs for me to run, but what should I do? The main reason I want a newer car is because I need a bigger boot. Should I compromise, look for something a little bigger, or what? Also, people I have spoken to say Toyota is best!

With thanks from a puzzled novice!

Wow thank you, naomi24.  Any advice I get I take!  I didn't realise that with Peugeot's.

Same with Renaults.

What about Toyota's and Citroen's please, rowanwitch?

I'm saying that, Treacle, because I had a brand new Peugeot 307 when they first came out - the one with the retractable roof - lovely car but it cost stupid money to fix if anything went wrong.  I paid over £200 for one seat belt.  Mad!  Never again.  In your situation I'd plump for something cheap and easy on repairs - like a little Fiesta.  Cheap to run, cheap on tax, parts inexpensive and plentiful, and no main dealer garages needed for repairs.  I would buy from a main dealer though.  I think that's a lot safer.

Thank you, naomi24.  Very interesting to note.

One other thing with a Fiesta is the rear seats fold down to give extra boot space - which is what I think you said you want.
