Thread: Daily driver wanted, non LR

New or used?

I assume used in that price bracket.

My wife has a 2004 Corolla and it has not given any trouble. Bought it one year old with 8k on it. Only money spent being book servicing and new tyres. It's only done 27k in 4 years though.

No idea what it costs to run exactly but it is cheap.

I'd go a well looked after Toyota Corrolla.

Way out of the price range,BUT worth looking into.There is a new Ford Focus running a turbo diesel,they were raving about its milage,5.5lts/100ks or somethin rediculous!!! And it drives beter than the petrol model!!!

yeah like the looks of the new tdi's
entertained the idea of a new one but not interested in getting into too much debt for a car at this point in time

Hyundai, well made, cheap and has a 5 year warranty

Both Daughters have one each, Accents, a 2 door and a 4 door.
Never had a spot of bother with them.
The Getz is also a tough little bugger. Mate of mine has one, his wife got T boned in it from a clown running a red light.
She was fine, car written off, so he bought another

go the peugeot tdi they are one of the most fuel efficiant,60miles per gallen

Any thing over an Astra. One I would contemplate would be a subaru forester or an RX. Forester is a good size to drive and park and carry stuff and rx is just a nice car all around. Cheap to maintain. Good on fuel. Safe as houses. Forester is commonly converted to lpg now and if you did that you wouldn't even know you owned one when you pulled your wallet out. Oh and the AWD is a great bonus for a small car. you can pick them up cheap.

i liked the look of the pug but doing (rough and probably flawed) maths you gotta drive alotta kms to make up for the higher purchase price of the tdi vehicles. how reliable are the pugs n vws? ive read some good reviews but that only goes so far

we have contemplated a medium vehicle on lpg, think a forrester is a bit big, worth looking into tho

much appreciated please keep em coming
