What type of Car and why?

[I Love Snow]

What type of car do you drive and why? In a bit of a pickle as i'm not sure what to buy. Something smallish like a fiesta but reliable. Any help?

[Aprilis]

Lmao @ Fiesta but reliable...hahahaha!!

If you want a small car you won't be interested in mine then. I drive a Nissan X-Trail.

I'll be interested what others suggest though as my mum just had her car written off by a drunk driver whilst it was parked outside my house. She's currently looking for a small and reliable car too.

I have 2 - Landrover Discovery and MGF a big one and a small one which is reliable and such fun!

how much do ya want to spend?

[I Love Snow]

�6000. Keeping away from puntos as that is what we have at the moment but we need something a wee bit bigger.

Whatever you decide to buy 'cash is king' esp. at the moment. Don't be rushed into buying and drive a real hard bargain: remember, the seller needs you more than you need them. You should get a car actually worth 7k+ (including extras like tax, fuel and poss. breakdown recovery for a year if you buy from a dealer) for your 6k.

hey i love snow, hows your baby? (its me cuddleme). im not sure what car to reccommend but for me, i would go for a mini cooper S, but not sure if you can fit a babyseat in there :P xx then again it would cost at lest �11k.

have you seen the fordKa? then again might be too small too, but they are cheap.

HOLY S**T! you actually drive a fiat!...anything has to be a step up after that! don't buy anything french or italian PLEASE...buy japanese..toyota or nissan and you can't go far wrong.....as a previous post said you should be able to get one hell of a car at the moment with 6k to spend!..good luck. :0)

[panserbj�]

I'd second going for Japanese.

Why not get someone to steal your Fiat and with the insurance money get something of a similar value: like a toaster or a kettle :)

[gonzo00]

LOL!.....i'd second that...tesco do toasters for about 8 quid so you may have to put an extra couple of quid in! :0)
you what fait stands for??
Fix It Again Tomorrow! :0)

LOL @ Gonzo! Behaaaave!

Hiya ILS, how's the little one? x

The Fiesta got a really good review on Top Gear, I've read that it is one of the most reliable cars around too.

Not my cup of tea personally, but if it's a reliable runaround you need.....
