Suggestions for a colleague's next car?
« on: 29 September 2011, 12:09 »
My work colleague Alice needs a new car as she's got a 94 Astra that's had it. Her bloke is 6ft 5 so nothing too small. They want a reliable 5-door diesel hatch and their budget is £3500.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Don't forget that her other half is 6ft 5 so a Yaris might be a bit of a squeeze. They're not too worried about speed but they do need to get a yellow labrador in the back!
