Suzuki Alto 1.1GL

Cheap,reliable, dull and no ball of fire but £35 per yr road fund and over 60mpg combined.

i'd just get a simple to fix petrol car rather that a complicated oil burner made by the french. what about a fiesta etc....you'll have enough to think about on your training/teaching course. lesson plans/reports/ etc to have time to think about fixing the latest electrical fault on a french car....plus being a parent at home....

paul....married to a teacher of 18 years and big brother to a yep school teacher of also 18 years.....hahahaha......(my sister introduced me to her friend at teaching college.) of course if you where full time you'd get bused/coached to teaching practice schools. Good luck with the studies and don't let the old gag about 3 months holidays per year get you down...trust me when your report writting and have 1 month to rattle out 25 reports (small class size hu) and each report covers all subjects and is approx 6 pages....you'll be working until 10pm for the month....plus parents evening and out of school hours clubs that you'll be told..... to "volunteer" for...

my wife when she was at university in Oxford used a clapped out metro with over 100k on the clock and a self rust proofing engine bay.......some of the schools you visit don't have the nicest intake...if you get me then after getting a full time position....a series of fiestas followed now a parent she drives a volvo v40 1.8 sport (39mpg petrol)

Small petrol car - 1.1 Panda as it has a non interference engine.

No cambelt engine destruction worries and it`s galvanized .
