Cape FIAT

We've seen a 60 plate FIAT 500 1.2s at Motorpoint for £8,600, but they have no TwinAirs yet. A new TwinAir from FIAT will cost £12,700, but is it worth waiting to see if Motorpoint will get any? We're...

Buying a new small car

I'm a 22 year old man who can finally afford to splurge on a new or nearly new small car after getting a few years of NCB under my belt. It's a toss up between a Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec and a VW Polo...
