Ideas
Need a day to day car.
Options iv been thinking of are
Skoda Fabia vRS 1.9 - nice fast little car but also pretty refind with VAG reliablitly.
Mini Cooper S - Cool, different , heard there nippy but not sure, nice In black.
Twingo RS - Not turbo but something about them I like haha.
Also was looking at a TT or A3 but not sure.
Any other cars would be helpful.
By the way I was looking at using the old finance to pay for it before someone asls budget...butost of these vary from 3k-6k

When people ask I usually say...
Japanese for reliability
German for build quality
Italian for great looks
French for a budget
.... and
British.

Everything that's been mentioned is garbage to me.
1972 Lincoln Towncar sedan, now that would be my daily driver.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: Ideas
Jap cars are great for reliability but hate the insides of them as they are very very plastic, but that's my opinion
French wouldn't bother as I had nothing but problems with one
Vws generally hold there value
But I am biased and had the last 3 shape astras so still loving vaux and can recommend the new shape Astra sports tourer lol

Re: Ideas
I bought a cheap cav for my daily driver. big(ish) boot for work gear and suitcase. cheap running costs, now holding value, or going up.
and I can take it on a building site with out worrying about it getting hit by a a 25ton moxy!

My valver brings all the boys to the yard, dam right its cammed and carbed, dam right it pops and farts, I would show you but the fuker won't start!
Re: Ideas
If you havent already do not buy a Bora, one of my mates has had 2 of the TD boras and got shot of both quickly..
Not to say they are bad cars, they are just seriously slow! You wouldn't of thought it as in the golf the Td aint bad but the Bora just cannot manage to drag its extra weight around.

Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
