Bare sick. I had one (Still have one) Its been dropped and everything. made from metal :O:O:O. Nowadays, i guess its all HSE shit, it'd have to be unbreakable ABS plastic.

1.5D sounds good, probably won't be reliable though

my friiend has a pegeout 107 and the tax is only £35 a year and the insurance is low as its a group 1 and obviously does good on MPG

If you want reliability you go japenese or german, if you want cheapness you go french

Out of them i would go for the Aygo but they are all too expensive with the £1000 budget

[ahoward87]

id go jap if id you, plenty to choose from, very reliable(most) and cheap as chips to tax and run
