Pheeeeeew...Thanks alot B-Man for that..I always got the feeling that there was something fishy about that Car Nation crowd...They always seem to present the perfect car i.e low milage, cheap price, I knew there must have been something up with them...

Anywho thanks alot...

If you are buying a second hand (or for that matter, new) car then get it checked over by an independent mechanic - if you buy a lemon then expect to lose a small fortune on it!

Look after a car and it will last you years. Drive the sh*te out of it and it might only last you a week.

You can't just say I want a car with reliability for about two years.

Reliability depends on many many variables.

I would recommend the Fiesta but not that particular one. Not that one because it has the old 1.3 litre 8 valve engine rather than the better and newer 1.25 litre 16 valve version.

My second choice would be the Clio.

Go for the Clio

Safe..and nippy, despite what many people will claim they're also very reliable.

Silver-Tiger

Clio , Clio , Clio

The only Renault i dont mind selling.
Best of 3 for me

I would go for the Clio.. It's the most stylish out of the three by a long shot.
Also, I have one, and I love it!
