What car to buy??
« on: 19 July 2010, 21:25:09 »
OK I need a car, what though??

I need Automatic, prefer a high seat or a car with seat height adjustment and steering.
Car needs to be light to drive, comfy to sit in, nothing too small and with reasonable MPG but nippy.
14 Mile commute, A or B or mixture of roads. At work spend time running around the town mainly.
Reasonable boot but we do have an Omega Estate for any big jobs.

Ideas please around £3-5k

Over to you guys for some appropriate ideas.. :y

if you want a car which will need only ordinary consumables my advice is Mazda 1.5 or 2.0 but with a manual I'm afraid.. They are very robust but autos not strong as like their engines..My friend has one
97 model and not touched anything other than oil ,
filter , brake pads.. :o :o :o >:( >:( >:(
