After a bit of a nightmare yesterday (someone drove into the back of it) my mum’s 2002 Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia has gone to the great motorway in the sky.
So the big question is what to replace it with. She’s looking for something of similar size to the old one, but not bigger. It’ll be secondhand rather than new, budget is £6-8k.
5 doors with a hatchback not a saloon. Not looking for anything particularly fast. She doesn’t do motorways (there are none on the IOW) but should be capable if necessary, only does about 6000 miles a year, petrol, 100bhp should be adequate for her needs, NOT French.
At the moment I’m leaning towards the following:-
Honda Jazz
Ford Fiesta
Nissan Note
Any other cars I should be considering? (Don’t suggest anything French please!)
