Is that a 106

Well no luck with the alto. Engine management light was on. They told me they keep getting it cleared with no errors but keeps coming on. Colour was different under the bonnet at the front and the one wing wasn't the same height as the bonnet plus big rattle at times looking at it because the back box would need doing soon. Apparently they used to work in a dealership and get the part ex cars cheap. O well keep looking. Made me laugh though as they said the colour was different because they had tried t cutting it to get the colour back but they hadn't bothered to replace the broken and missing wheel trims.

Lol i was totally expecting these kind of reactions I just thank god that I've got the zed for real fun. I'll update once I've seen the car later on and if I get this one I'll put up a pic for a laugh. As for the picanto was trying to find one but couldn't in my price bracket.

Fingers crossed got a cheap runner to see tomorrow. Suzuki alto 54 plate 55k miles. Looks all neat and tidy. £995 with 6 months tax and mot. Over 50mpg and 30 quid a year tax. Total box on wheels but then my zeds for the pleasure trips, this thing just needs to get me to work and back each week. Hopefully get it tomorrow so I can stop racking up the miles on my zed. Thanks for the suggestions all

Welcome from newport

Welcome to the forum trust me you'll love it when you finally get your hands on the car properly.

Looks like a great trip, really good pics. let me know next time your all around and I'll try to meet up. Can't wait for next year's annual meet either.

Not sure but let us know how it goes once your bled them. I'm gonna try mine again but if you're gonna try I'll wait and see

Mines the same, think they all are. I like the feel of the gear box. Actually feeling the mechanism working makes it feel more solid. Definitely better once warm.

I did wonder what would happen if you left the handbrake off :s

Love it. That lift mechanism looks so cool

Thanks for all the suggestions its mainly city driving which is why I was thinking petrol rather than diesel as well . Will have a look at that passat though as well

Lol no probs. Worth a try.

Why worry about driving reviews If you want cheapness just get something that does 70mpg ish like a VW Fox.... Cheap Economical Fun You can get any 2 of those but not all 3 IMO Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP What about my Seat Toledo V5 £1600 - Leather / Alacantra interior (especially for you SMD x), 6CD multiplayer, Sat Nav, massive boot with folding rear seats, climate control, good small saloon size, 2.3 litre power plant 0-60 in eight seconds......perfect shed! Edit - Maybe not quite the mpg the Ops after though Nice but not gonna be cheap on tax or have the mpg I'm guessing? :-)

Vw up. Another one I've looked at slightly more price wise I'm finding. Smart car. Hum. Looking at em v similar as other ones I've looked at. Need to try to stay rational but don't know why but never liked em. Probably because of someone I knew once that owned one rather than the car itself

Good point on the a2 as well. Higher insurance group though which will cost me more than the aygo. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Cool. Cheers mate. Will pop down the dealership tomorrow and see if I can get a drive in one as well.

Toyota aygo does look good actually. Tax and mpg good. Will see if I can try one of those as well.

Didn't know that about the pug, c1 etc. I'd heard the vw up and seat mi were the same I think. Thanks for the offer on the BMW. Nice car but expecting the tax to be a fair bit?

Saw one of those on the way back from town earlier. Not to bad. I'd like something that can be fun around corners. Not expecting much above 50 with any of em. Just get to work and back.

Lol yer I guess I'm asking a bit much hoping for a fun drive with these type of cars. Gonna test an i10 tomorrow. See what happens around a round about. Pretend I'm in the zed lol.

Did think about an ibiza and types like that but it's really just a to b and cheapness I need. Still looking on the net for now. Tried looking for some driving reviews on the kind of cars I've looked at already. Just wondered if anyone else had one of those city car types and if any of em had any enjoyment in the drive. Will try some test drives tomorrow.

Lol way too lazy for that.

I hadn't considered those as an option. Didn't think they were so cheap on tax. I'd expected not to get anything with any sort of poke for what I'm looking for but that isn't to bad a car. My only worry is that while a diesel has good mpg the cost of diesel is more so would I really be getting a better deal than finding a petrol engine with comparable mpg.

Lol. Thanks. Never heard of that site before I've looked at the chevy sparks, hyundai i10, vw up, seat mi all those type of cars. A lot more than a grand for a fiesta but then the idea is they would last longer and be cheaper to run.
