 Re: 1st car buy – Any suggestions?
VW make a corker of a diesel golf now - excellent 1st car.
Try a vauxhall astra too - the petrol 1.6 is pretty good and it's got a low insurance group.
If you're a turbo nutter but want something cheap that goes round corners like its on rails, go for a scooby circa 2000 (expect to lay out around 3.5k for a good unsullied uk car - also will bypass the emissions taxes due later this year) - sorry - i'm an ex-scooby owner. damn that mortgage of mine....
that fiat 500 is supposed to be pretty nice too - all funky on the inside...
and my biggest tip - do NOT buy new! If you want something new then get it second hand and 6 months to a year old. Either that or get something really old you won't cry about when someone TWOCs it... eg my scooby had 1000 miles on the clock - i only paid 17 grand for it instead of 24.
