Gaz6002 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Cheap, reliable and not the worst chassis ever designed, but some of the little 'unique selling points' may not be to her liking. Make sure she takes it for a looooong test drive before deciding whether to buy. It's nowhere near as bad as the Splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncz Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Was my last car. Really easy to drive, fuel economy on the 1.5 was dire though - 35mpg for a small car, awful. Insurance on the 1.5s isn't too great either, group 6 I think. If it's the 1.3 it should be sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Do they still do a 3cyl model? Great car's to get the no claims under the belt IMO. It IS a tin can though so always bear that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncz Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Also, not sure about the second hand market but new they're similarly priced to the likes of the Fiat 500 unless you get the bottom specs. They don't rival that type of car so only purchase if it's going pretty cheap. GLX 19K couple years old I'd not want to pay more than 7K.
