Could anyone suggest me some cars please

Answer 1

Smart Car (going to be hard to find for under £3500, admittedly), Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Microcar, Q-Pod, VW Lupo TDi (104 mpg!).

Answer 2

If you look hard enough, you could find a Citroen C2 1.4HDi LX diesel - Band B tax, electric windows, power steering, rev counter, RDS CD player with steering wheel controls, trip computer;

You could get a 2003 one for £2800 if you shop around.

Answer 7

Do not buy a Prius as these cars produce more CO2 during their manufacture than most cars produce in their life time. Besides all Hybrids are driven by stupid people who think they are helping the environment when in fact they do more damage before they even turn a key.

Anyway...

You would struggle to get a band B petrol car on your budget. So any Diesel car that is registered after March `01 and has an engine size of less than 1400cc will get you the £35 per year tax.

I would say a Ford Fiesta 1.4 Diesel would be your best bet, but to get one for £2800 it will have higher than average mileage.

Problem is the price.  The company who make the above will soon have a street saloon car available in the £17,000 range. It will do 200 miles on a single charge - not bad.
