Now my missus is driving, I’ve decided its time to look at changing our automotive set-up a bit.
She’s got herself an Auto licence so the Family car HAS to be an Automatic, big enough to accommodate the lot of us with luggage, small enough that a relatively new driver won’t keep bumping the corners into things, that’s really a side issue.
What I’m thinking is that Daddy should get his own little runabout for getting to work and of course biking, now before I had a wife/kids/mortgage I was perfectly happy in small engined, little hatchbacks, which normally had the rear seats folded down and/or a bike rack semi-permanently strapped to the boot, so I’m thinking perhaps I should go down a similar route again, I have fond memories of my old ranger body polo…
So I’m going to be looking for a cheap and cheerful eurobox to accommodate little old me and an MTB: ~1.2L, petrol, not too fussed about number of doors, something reasonably reliable that I can mostly home service I’m thinking anything from an 02 – 06 plate so 8-12 years old…
Gotta be Cheap, Common (to keep parts prices down), sensible on fuel, I’m thinking Clio/Corsa/Fiesta/Punto/Ka maybe?
Recommendations, Suggestions, Derision? Lets have it then…
