Recomend a car
just checked a mk4 golf tdi would be in price range just about
only silly high milage ones are in the budget. an MK3 would be alrite but I doubt she will want one
She does want a bigger car really.. always stayed away because she thought she couldnt drive them but I let her have a go in the marea and prelude and she loves big cars now. They are alot more comfy for longer journeys imo.

It's a toyota so will run for ever and clock up the miles no matter what abuse is given, and if its sitting at 4300rpm at 70 you can't have found 5th (only joking
), but seriously, mum's Y-reg 998cc VVTi GS Yaris dosen't sit that high at 70MPH! It's the best car we've had, 90,000 miles and only had new tyre's, and wiper blades, been smashed 3 time's (well only once, other two were scrapes) and well serviced and its still going strong. Only problem we have is the drivers seat wearing, but if that all that can be moaned about with a car it can't be bad.As you can tell I like Yaris's aswell as my Panda.
i always wanted a yrv , nearly got a turbo one once
that a yaris underneath, slightly bigger and go for ever, my dad just clocked over 150k in his and only the radiator broke on it

i was using terris 8v mk2b punto to take here back n forth to work before she passes her test, now she doing it her self and it fine on a motorway and was giving 45-50 mpg even with my driving
Can't go wrong with a Mondeo at that price. Well built, comfy, motorway muncher, can get in diesel/ turbo diesel, good to drive and will give her the extra space she requires. They're also excellent value for money.
Girls. Typical.

its **** colour though
So thought i better reply to the thread about my car decisions!
So i've got a new job, Monday-Thursday I will be travelling to different locations and will get 40p per mile (which I think is relatively good) on Fridays I will have to go into the 'office' which is in dudley so means motorway driving and I won't get travelling expense's! ... for the first 3 weeks or so I will be travelling to and from dudley as I will be doing all the training and inductions, etc.. which means I won't get travelling money and clocking up just under 100miles a day.
The main reason I want to get a car is, I will be desperate for the money next month, as the wage i'll get from my old job at the end of may won't pay for the petrol costs, etc, and I need to get an mot, service and tax so will be really hard to pay for!..
My orginal ideas were...
Ford focus/fiesta
Peugeot 307
WV Golf, Polo (but don't like the older shapes!!)
With the Yaris..I really do love it (apart from the colour!!) as I got it at a good price for the milage and condition (apart from the old lady that haunts the car! but I would miss her too) and with it only been a 1litre I always thought it wouldn't be good for travelling lots!
Not sure what to do now!

Lady, get a Mk1 ford focus 1.8 TDCI
You will command the motorways, enjoy a still quite modern comfy reliable car that handles brilliantly.
Insurance group 7, 115BHP so it has poke and lots of pulling power! And as it's a focus it would unlikey attract unwanted boy racer attention etc
Only downside is that these models are pretty competitively priced as they are right at the top of the most wanted focus lists.

Don't get a Ford, they're worse than Fiats for re-liability in our experience and we look after cars.
