    I'm thinking about changing my car. I have a 3 door 1.4 Citroen Xsara and I would like to get a 5 door reasonable, reliable car.
    My boss thinks all cars except for BMW's, Toyota's, Skoda's and Volkswagan are sh*t.

    Any opinion on this??

    Tell us what you want from a car, what kind of use you are giving it, what you like and are you limited to engine size, preference petrol or diesel?

    We can then give you some suggestions.

    I used my car every day going to and from work, altogether about 20miles a day. Also I use it alot at the weekend. I would prefer a petrol car, or if there's a car out there that runs on water be great due to petrol costs!!:eek: Not sure what litre to go for, was thinking about going down to 1.2 to reduce running costs and tax costs but am i right in thinking this. Wud a 1.4, 1.6 be just as cheap.

    It's a tired joke told these days by people who listen to pub talk.

    When looking for a car do your homework check what the masses are driving and research


    The cars your boss mentioned are expensive -so please bear in mind you get what you pay for

    Cheap cars can be basic enough in function and reliability and materials

    Expensive normally applies -attention to detail / strong build quality
    and strenght in reliability.
