What's best to one person is not necessarily best to another.

What about another Peugeot, a 307?

They don't seem to have a very good reputation for reliability. What about a Focus?

How about a Peugeot 207?

Same size as a 306, bang up to date and has a good HJ write up.

Available from June 8th

I suggest she tries a Skoda Fabia VRS or Octavia VRS depending on what size she wants. The Fabia is at the bottom end of her budget, the Octavia at the top. Fabia ia a turbodiesel, Octavia a petrol (the same engine as the Golf GTI).
