Answer 1

Just stay away from French/Italian cars they come very low in user reliability polls.

Foreign cars tend to be expensive to run particularly on spares.

I stick to Vauxhalls. Mine have been reliable and cheap to run.

Fords I have had have been rubbish and I would not touch them with the proverbial barge pole

Fords are good and it's easy to get parts for them.  Good luck!

Answer 8

German cars are the most reliable. DO NOT buy a 207, they are cheaply assembled and are prone to falling apart. Altough a little bit more expensive, look into VW's like the Polo, or BMW's like the Compact - These cars are more expensive in the short term, but cheaper in the long run due to the high levels of reliability

Answer 9

Very subjective, however the Consumer Association just tested 90,000 cars and the top seven most reliable were all Japanese.

Therefore go for Honda, Mazda, Toyota etc.

Answer 10

With whatever car you get there are going to be problems.  KA cars are tin on wheels, fiestas are known for leaking, bla bla and the list goes on.  I personally would go for the 206 as they are fantastic. I have on, my fiancee does, my mum does, fiancee's mum does, mates do. Lovely car.  However insurance will prob be quite high therefore I would recommend the corsa.  They are so cheap to run and such goo reliable cars.

Answer 11

The Ford Ka is brilliant, it handles like Maradona, and I drive one of the best handling brands in the world.
