Default Ideas For a Car For the Missus

At the minute, she's got my T reg SRi Vectra 2.5 V6. We're looking for something a bit smaller and economical.

Criteria is as follows:

4 doors would be handy, but not essential
She says she wants a 1.8 minimum, but around 1.2-1.4 (for cheaper road tax ) is what I'm thinking
Around £3000

I've looked at Clio's, 206's, Corsa's, even 145 Alfa's on Autotrader, but could do with a few other options

Thanks,

Andy.

Sorry mate, £3k is our limit.

Never thought of a Fiat. Might have a look.

Cheers,

Andy

My missus has a 04 Renault Clio 1.2 16V , cracking little car, very fast for a 1.2 and economical as you'd expect from a 1.2 engine, solidly built and good equipment levels.
