I think the OP was asking more about smaller cars, not tanks like Omegas or repmobile size cars.


All I know about them is that they exist ;D ;D ;D ;D

No idea what I would recommend

Mrs cg has a polo. Crammed full of gremlins when we got it. But repaired some odd unexplained damage to the abs wiring loom. Replaced pattern abs sensor or 2 for genuine. Then unplugged the battery for half an hour, reconnected for half an hour, ignition on for half an hour, and that killed all the stalling gremlins. It's been good as gold since. I don't think any of those issues can be blamed on the car.

But it's certainly not economic when I ask it to drive how I want it to drive. But then it's not for me. :y

Skoda Superb mate.....

Get one for under £2000, have had 50.1mpg out of our 2.0 manual on a run....

Reliable, comfortable, well specced and spacious.....

Totally recommend them.

Must be sommut wrong with ours then cos its none of these....its the most comfortable spacious car we have ever had....Omega included.....

Not a boy racer anymore so 2.0 is fine for our needs....

Nissan Almeras are pretty reliable as far I know bro inlaws had one for 4 years no problems.

Ok but prone to rusty front crossmembers. :-/

pug 306s fairly bombproof, late estates go for about £7-800. !.6/1.8 good on fuel, don't really rust and quite fun to drive too. :y Astras do have the advantage on parts prices though.

What about a Nissan Micra? Allegedly dependable, well built & large interior space, but alas not 'bombproof'.... apparently! ::) ;)

All very interesting stuff - thanks for the replies, I'll keep passing the info on.

No piers nearby so that should't matter too much  ;)

Now you mention it, I hired a Micra a few years ago and was very surprised how roomy it felt.  Otherwise dead boring but I think that's what is required.
