Mrs Tosser is looking for a new car.

She has two labradors so needs a hatchback with a decent size boot.

But she wants a small car as "I don't need a big car"

Insurance group needs to be low as the Young Tosser has to be insured to drive it.

Right now looks like either Clio (she has one at the moment) or C3.

Any suggestions/experiences ?

Astra !! behave CC, she wants to retain some cred

The Jazz looks good, I feel a test drive coming on.

The only problem being the last time I went to the Honda dealer in Aberdeen, to look at an Accord TypeR, the salesmen looked like a couple of very dodgy characters, and they offered me a very poor trade in.

If she wants "new" new then I'd go for the Honda Jazz, a great little car with an amazing amount of room inside.

2nd hand there are more options, Ibiza,Focus,Fabia etc etc the list goes on.


BTW, how does she manage to get 2 labradors in a Clio?

going for a quality 2nd hand car you will probably lose a lot less money than buying a non premium new super mini or small hatch.

How about a 2nd hand Merc A class really versatile inside

loads from £8000 good ones around £9k, good resale

http://www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/pc/index.html

A 2nd hand A3 TDI, 3 or 5 door sporty good resale hatch back.

A 2nd compact BMW 3 series sporty good drive.

Buying 2nd hand these all have pretty good resale.
