which car to replace 206 auto - nutty_nissan
my friend at work wants a replacement for her 1999 206 auto. She has a budget of up to 10k (new or used). What she has said is that the 206 wanders around in windy weather, and she would like something a bit more planted to the road. Essentials are:
Auto
307 size or smaller (easy to park since she lives in congested inner London)
ABS
Lots of airbags/feeling of solid construction
A bit more shove than the 206 Auto has

She's initially thinking of Golfs, but wonders if the 1.6 Auto Mk4 might be too slow.

Any ideas/good deals out there?

Thanks.

Great car but not sure if it's got enough performance - I'd imagine it wouldn't be far off a 1.6 Mk IV Golf but it won't be a flying machine. Not sure what she *should* get though...

The Jazz auto isn't exactly rapid though, in fact last time I drove it I found it a bit of a slug really, I had to use the manual selector to get any kind of urge at all.

Don't know what else I could suggest, Yaris is quite nice and I think it may be a bit quicker than the Jazz if bought in 1.3 form...

If it were me I would still rather have a Golf or Focus Auto though...

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
