Got a Felicia that has just has it's MOT.

As of today it has both passenger doors smashed in.  :rolleyes:

Cheers mum.

OR a Micra if it's not rotten.

As for Ka's my GF has a lovely Ka. On a 53 not a spec of rust with the leather trim. However for £600 DO NOT buy a Ka.

106, Saxo or a Micra IMO.

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

For that money, a Peugeot 106 Diesel ticks all boxes, cheapest to buy, run, service, mend, no rust, and plenty to choose from... but at all costs, avoid buying a KA of any year or price!

You might also want to leave for work an hour early if you buy one of these. Slowest car ever!


I would suggest a Micra. Solid cars, reliable and it doesn't matter if you crash it.

I beg to differ, you crash in one of these, you die. Simples!

I'd avoid the polo 6n, the word chocolate components comes to mind in my ownership of two of them. Always a gearbox issue somewhere along the way and TB issues (but thats common for vag), apart from that they are ok, easy to repair and maintain, but my mk4 1.8T has cost me miles less in maintenance than my polo's. My polo's bills where so high I could of bought a new LCR  :grin: :grin: :grin:

KA's rust like mad, I'd look at a micra personally


Audi TT - K04 TFSI Hybrid - 325BHP
VW Golf - k03 AGU - 200BHP

1.8T AGU..
