Mitsubishi Colt - car buying advice needed! 26 Aug 2015 (Forum)
VW passat - although it'd be good to get something with a smaller engine to keep the running costs down - price range: £1500-£4500 - ideally we would want a car that's not too old, but then again, it depends on what the older car would be :) - it'd be good if it was a good looking car :) that's always a plus :) here's cars that we;ve shortlisted: - mitsubishi colt - mitsubishi lancer (apparently it's VERY reliable) - suzuki splash - suzuki swift - subaru impreza (apparently it's VERY reliable) - honda jazz - honda civic - honda cr-v - chevrolet lacetti - hyundai coupe - hyundai sonata - mazda 6 - mazda 2 - mercedes SLK - mercedes C - mercedes A - skoda roomster - skoda fabia - smart fortwo coupe - toyota corolla - toyota rav4 - vauxhall corsa the thing is, a lot of those cars with automatic gearbox are a rare find! -
