plus1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wife (Dragonlady) has started a new job and has to pick a new company car. Problem being is that she is not going to get rid of her Honda, as it is her baby, and the running costs of opting out of the company car scheme means she has to foot the running costs. She will be doing approximately 28-30000 miles a year. Priority for the new car is sarety and economy, then comfort. Her choice is limited and has been narrowed down to the new Fiesta, VW Polo and a Mazda 2. She did want a Yaris but Toyota is not on the list and nor is Honda. Opinions please would be much appriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgeer Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The fiesta has had good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Aren't the Mazda 2 and the Fiesta essentially the same car? If so, would the Mazda not be more fun?! At least its Japanese!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs H Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would go Mazda Vicki x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Restorer Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 First opinion would be the Fiesta. It's agile enough if she ever gets chased by baddies in a shopping centre and she can use it on the beach to help out the SAS if ever needed too.

Had a word with the Mazda dealer about that, they only share parts of the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozymare Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 My mum has a Fiesta and I'm ashamed to say I quite enjoy driving it - better than my same age Mitsu Colt by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 New Fiesta, it's supposed to be lots of fun, I haven't seen a bad review for any of the variants yet. Just don't get it in that awful pink colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dragonlady in a Fiesta Dragonlady in a Polo Dragonlady in a Mazda. The last one sounds by far the best, so go for the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hate to go against the Japanese, but I'd take the Fiesta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
