First car recommendations...
My girlfriend has just passed her test and is looking for a car between 1500 and 2000 pounds! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Leopard....For that money, i can recommend a Toyota Yaris, i have one as a work car and it's been great....bought as a private sale a year past September, been very economical (1.0 ltr petrol) cheap to insure and touch wood very reliable, have had two services since i bought it, mechanic who does it says everything is easy to work on, no problems at all and easy to drive.....A safe bet...

If your not bothered about badges then the Hyundai Getz is a good little motor, Niece had one for a while, never a problem with it, but also agree with the Yaris as a good choice.. Personally I love Suzuki swift's but i've only ever driven the sport model.

Why not invest say £500 on an old Citroen 1.9D ZX.. They are dirt cheap to buy, very reliable, and very good on fuel..
 Then, after say six months when she is feeling more confident, part ex it on something better. ... |
