I dont often post on these forums, but after reading most of what is posted your guys seem to know an awfull lot about cars so may I trouble you all for some suggestions.
My other half is shortly going to be looking for a new run-around car. Nothing excessive, commuting 10mile roundtrip and weekly shopping trip.
She currently drives a 1.8D Fiesta, which I wouldn't say is fast put it pulls nicely. However having her dad reverse his land rover into it has lead to quite a lot of rust, the timing belt is also slipping(been told it a horrible job on this engine) so she wants something else.
budget around 2k, nothing more than 80K on the clock really.
I've been looking at an Fiat Punto, Corsa, Daewoo Nexia, Astra's.
Anyother Ideas or secret gems I may have missed?
