SupraDan24 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 My sister is looking to upgrade her car ahead of her first child, so she wants something small but more modern and safer for the baby (she has a old 106 at the moment). Is there anything on the market for around £2000 that anyone knows off, preferably something 02 or newer with good reliability. Has to be Automatic though as she has the Auto liscence She's looking at a 1.4 Nissan Micra at the moment, but i'm not convinced there all that reliable. Any suggestions?

stevie_b Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Fiesta? Reliable AFAIK but Fords always seem prone to rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've told her to do just that Dnk, i've been out all day so i couldnt have a look for her. Just wondered if there was anything that stood out that someone on here can vouch for.

Tyson Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 What about a starlet ? Its a bit older but they are reliable and cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah i would go starlet, yaris, civic ect but personally i wouldn't touch a polo as any i have dealt with have had a number of things wrong. Only one was auto though but with only a genuine 55000 on the clock (my grans car) the auto box would be very violent when cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
