girlfriend wants a saxo
Alright everyone..
My girlfriend is thinking about buying a Saxo, 1.1i Desire or something like that..
Anyone got one?
And what are they like for maintenance etc.? (I've got a VTR and it is rubbish haha)
Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong section but I haven't got enough posts to look at the 'For Sale' section 
Thanks

Dont know how you can say there unreliable tbh
Every car is unreliable if you drive like a dick and dont look after it, ive not had much go wrong with mine just the usual things what every car will suffer at some point and thats 8 years of ownership
Look after your car and it will look after you simples

To a point...
Also say they do break more often, they also only cost like 20% the price on parts etc as a more "reliable" car

Get a quote, you might be suprised. Women get very cheap insurance compared to lads. And if you get a quote of the net, ring them... I've had too many companies saying the internet mis-quoted me.

I used to have a Desire, ideal car for an 18yr old imo, good for tax and fuel!
Oh and she has b00bs so her insurance will be silly cheap
