Dear All,
May not be quite the right forum for this question.
Anybody have any recommendations for make/model for a cheapish family hatchback. Needs to have 5 doors/Aircon/central locking/1.4-1.6. Something Ford Focus Size ( but these cars are out of my price range )
thanks, Davy
Perhaps uk.rec.cars.misc ?
What is your budget? An early Focus can be had for around 2000UKP now.

Something FIAT. I kid you not. I got one and have been very pleasantly surprised. The engine goes really well and it's comfortable. Yes, things will break, fall off and occassionally you will have electrics that go all Italian and wave their arms about in a hissy fit. But they are as cheap as chips and really easy to work on when they do go wrong.

Budget about 3 k cash, needs to last average 15k mile a year.
plenty of mint late Mk2 mondys with all the kit on for that money too.
EG - 2 miles from me -X plate 2.0 Ghia w/ 48k on clock, that champagne silvery colour. £2695, thats at a dealer!
Tim..
You'd get a two or three year old for that. Are you saying FIAT's can't do
15k a year?
HFM!?
For a MkII?
You'd find a MkIII for that kind of money these days.
A MkIII Ghia with 48K for less than 3K? Bollocks.
John
Maybe not with 48k on it, but that's not a big deal these days.
But there are plenty of MkIII Mondeo Ghias for less than £3k these days.
Chris
I'm saying that a MkIII is infinitely preferable to a MkII.
Still wouldn't have one, though. My experience of one as a hire car was enough to put me off.
And of course you didn't let your anti-Ford prejudice influence you at all, did you?
;-)

BIG SNIP
Thread Hijack.
Gwon then, tellus what happened.
'if you are little brain'?
WTF?!
Should be "your" I guess. Minor hiccup.
