g/f drives a Ford Kack,  :embarassed: but that's down to cost rather than anything else. What's your budget ? I'd agree with Dinx and look at a Lupo or maybe a decent spec Seat Ibiza, it depends what they want it for as it's pointless getting an Lupo GTI if they're just going to the shops in it.

budget ideally as cheap as poss for the better/newest car. if i had to go il push it up to 3000-3200 for a new car but 2000 for an older one.

Spec: sure footed on motorway and preferable fuel effiecient. after a 1998/9 onwards really

for the mother was thinking vw bora 1.6 or tdi? but wondered how vw automatics hold up?
possibly audi a3 1.6?

lupos out the quesion, but thanks tho, bascially golf bora sized car passat size possibly if good on fuel.

The boras are just a booted golf so you know where youll be , no idea about autos but i think they are all hevier on fuel

I doubt you'll go wrong with any of the choices above, Bora TDI's are supposed to be quite good, you could get a decent spec 130 but I think you'll have to up your budget from 2k. The Passat is probably a bit too big but an A3 would be cool too but again a bit of a bigger budget than 2k would be needed. If it was me I'd go for a nice Bora TDI, 4 doors, boot, decent sized car. I'd go manual gearbox but that would be personal choice and I've no idea about the autos.

my gf drives a 106  :embarassed: but you can get a baby seat in the back with ease so i would have thought a polo sized vw would still be suitable for what you need.

you could pick up a nice mk4 golf or bora like you say for your price rangel so you should have a good choice of motors to go through...don't forget to check out the polo's aswell tho...

[GuvGTI]

thanks for the comments. yeh i was thinking  bora tdi auto ideally, but there hard to find.
