Old golf, or 306 or Mondeo

I'd say Golf if it has good mileage, failing that the 106

[saxodan]

[Japman]

[meganc0212]

The 106 looks the most decent out of those choices, I'd go for that one.

I had the clio as my first car. It never went wrong, i miss the reliability tbh

[streakofpiss]

My girlfriend drives a Daewoo Matiz - and after driving it there's only one piece of advice I can give you.

DON'T DO IT!

I agree totally with that. A woman i work with has got one. Over the past 2 years she's spent thousands fixing it!!! on average it goes wrong every couple of months. Head gasket, lambda sensor, heater matrix... are just a few of the problems she's had with it!!!!

[matt_vtr_15]

Hey:boxing: leave that poor wee metro alone!! lol
I had a metro rio for my 1st car - molly R.I.P. it served me well til i passed my test and the suspension gave up on it.

I would go with the punto - try to get a 75 elx, they've got full electric packs colour coded bumpers and stereo controls on the steering wheel - ooohhh fancy!!!
I bought my punto 75 elx for £999 and i loved it. it looked fab with big wheels and tints, i was sorry to see that one go:n:

[girlracer1597]

Get the matiz very cheap insurance ;)

[Delboy75]

old golf or 106

[MikeCracknell]

Love the stream of black smoke coing out the metro lol

106 FTW!
