Hi all,
Im after a first car for the missus as she's learning to drive at the moment. I've been looking for a small diesel hatchback for about 3 weeks now without any luck.
I'll also be borrowing it every now and then for work as i do a lot of miles, so it needs to be big enough to be comfortable on the motorway.
My criteria is:
Reliable
Up to 10 years old
Diesel
Hatch back (ie. no sticky out boot, so its easy for her to drive)
Under 100k miles.
Not too small.
I would like a civic, but they're around £3k at the mo (and i dont want to spend too much, because i just know she'll crash it - everyone does when they start driving!)
Not interested in anything french...
Anyone?
I've spent the last 3 hours on autotrader/ebay looking for options... i've called about 10 people and they're either all sold, or sound like a scam (crap excuses why i cant come to the garage to view
