Reliable Diesel Hatchback?

Question

Which car would you recommend in the price range of £2,000 maximum

Answer 1

Honda. I've never heard of one needing any serious repair.. infact i've only heard of the odd one or two that went wrong...

Answer 2

I did 120,000 miles without a problem in a clio diesel, you should be able to get an 03 plate for £2000. Go for better spec models such as the Dynamique.

Answer 3

I normally recommend japanese cars, but since you're after an oil burner I would go with Peugeot/Citroen.

Answer 4

Chippie is on the money....

petrol = go j*p

diesel= go french

The 306TD or 306HDI is a good drive with fun handling

try and get a decent amount of service history with it... look after a diesel and it'll run for ever!
