What car for around £1500?
 

Hs anyone got a suggestion for my next car,need it to commute everyday so have to be reliable!
At the moment my choices are Mk2 Golf GTI, Pug 106rallye, Clio16v, or a Mitsuibishi Starion Widebody

you could consider a Nissan Primera 2.0e GT - about 95/96

i ran one for 2 years and didn't spend a bean on it (70-80K on the clock)

150 bhp, well equipped, reasonable insurance, good strong engine and good chassis

"a bit Nissan" inside though (but full leather, everything electric etc)

worth a thought.

I recently got a pug 3.0V6 with loads of kit @ 73k miles for just under £2k. Probably the best car I've ever owned and absolutly brilliant for the daily commute - performance wise it takes a giant dump on most hot-hatches as well :D

I recently aquired a Vauxhall Omega 2.5v6, '95M, 91,000 on the clock for £2k from a dealer. I needed a car asap but you could possibly find one for £1500 privately.

0-60 in 8 secs, RWD, comfy, decent interior, massive boot and not bad handling for a big car. Ideal for comfy commutes.

A Starion for reliable commuting, ru mental. Nice car tho, I had a shot of one when they were new and it was feckin phenomenal, miles ahead of anything else at the time, bit like the Evo is now.

lol that's the wild card, all the suggestion been good but i should've remind people i'm only 22 :)

Workshy what's the fuel consumption like on the starion, was it a 2.0 or 2.6 you had?

Mk2 Golf GTI 8v - Group 14
Mk2 Golf GTI 16v - Group 15
Pug 106 Rallye (1.3) - Group 9
Pug 106 Rallye (1.6) - Group 11 *out of the price range*
Renault Clio 16v - Group 16 *out of the price range*
Mitsubishi Starion (2.0 Turbo) - Group 16
Mitsubishi Starion (2.6 Turbo) - Group 18

I'd say look at a Honda CRX 1.6 16v (130bhp) group 12. £1500 should fine a good one! Or it can find you an bad condition Honda CRX VTEC (150bhp) also group 12.
