If your going for a new car then I can suggest a Suzuki Swift 1.5 Gli Auto. Nice car and something different from the usual. Ok it maybe out of budget, but you could get it on a PCP?

my mother has a Y plate Clio Auto, in silver, low milage, i think shes looking to trade the car in soon for a new car.

But having the same problem as you, WHAT TO GO FOR next.

Depending on how soon your looking, i can let you know if its in the near future.

Failing that, how about the 1300 auto Micra. I bought her old one, its got the CVT box in it and for a 1300, it was no slouch, ran it for a year as a runabout and all i needed to do was change 1 tyre and bulb.

I've got a very tidy 22000 mile Peugeot 206 1.4 LX auto for sale if you are interested. I'm looking for £3500 if it is of any use to you.

Have you considered a Micra auto? Far more reliable than the equivalent Peugeot.

Thanks for the offers of selling me your cars.

I still would like to know if one of the cars in my list stands out as being better than another, for instance I thought that Renault auto boxes were unreliable but I dont know if this is fact.

Does any one know of a web site I can compare the cars to see which is better??
