martini Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Not for myself, but a colleague and his wife are after a car. They're taking their tests (currently hold US licences) imminently and require a car for commutes. They need someone that will sail through MOT and be capable of about 70 miles per day. Good MPG (above 40?) small (hatchback is fine) sub £1500 diesel or petrol any colour Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I said a lot of guys on the Supra owners club have runabouts/previous car experience (I have neither) - so any comments welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 A mkiv Golf oil-burner would be nice, you can get them with a nice comfy spec if you look hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
