My second car?

Question

heeeellllppp my first car was a fiat punto s reg i crashed it 5 days after i got the clutch fixed which took 6 weeks 4 the garage to fix it. i need a second car it needs to be better then my fiat what shall i buy?

Answer 1

better go for a driver than another car

Answer 2

How about a VW Polo?  A realiable car that's cheap to run/insure.

Answer 3

If you like the Punto's handling then can I suggest a good used Ford Ka 1.3i. These cars are very cheap to buy, run, insure, tax and repair. They are one of the most reliable small cars on the road with the backing of a big name like FORD. They are better for a single person or couple who do not transport passengers very often and/or have a lot of objects to shift as the boot although adequate for daily use can struggle with a full family weekly shop. The quirky design is modern, fresh and popular amoungst youngsters especially females who like something a little out of the ordinary. Best of all a late 90's into 2000 model Ka 1.3i 2 will sell with average miles in good condition for about £1000. For a 03/53 plate expect to pay upto £2750-£3000 and 05/55 plate about £3750-£4000. Do not pay more than £6000 for second hand models though as they sell new for £5995 from dealers (if you can drive a good bargain).

Anyway, good luck and remember this is just my advice and opinion and I seriously recommend you test drive any vehicle you decide to buy fully before making the final desicion.

Answer 4

nissan micras are very reliable and well made even though they are quite ugly.

fiats are known for being the worst made cars.

my sister has had a ford ka for a long time and never had any problems with it.
