I am looking to buy a smallish car for the wife. Will only do local miles and will have a petrol engine with auto box. I have been looking at Mazda 3 and Peugeot 307 and wondered what you learned gentlemen thought of these or could suggest an alternative vehicle. Budget up to £3000. Cheers

I wouldnt touch anything French.
Look at Ford Fusions. Mummy bear got hers 3 years ago. Well made, well put together and only ever needed a front spring at the last MOT (which i did for her).
Cabins also a real nice place to be.

Nothing French would touch you, either ;D

SWMBO is on her 2nd Jazz, had the first for 9 years, nothing went wrong, at all. Nice little car to drive also with the auto box :y

Sister in law has a Jazz it's like riding in a go kart. Wifey is used to the omega elite and now a Merc so is proving difficult to please. Also tried a Peugeot 206, an Astra and Mondeo none of which floated her boat. Haven't looked at the fusion or focus but might have to. Thanks for the input

Also, ma has the 1.6 auto fusion. Not going to rewrite the speed records but is quite pokey :y

I switched to Astra 1.6 se auto - doing 3 to 4000 miles a year - fuel consumption is not great around town 6 miles each way per day at 30 ish, but I like it , decent space and spec. I went for higher mileage petrol as a bit cheaper.
