Hi all

My Mother is looking at cars at the moment. She needs an automatic. We've found it very hard to find a car with a small enough engine and within price limit of about 2.5k. For the past ten years she's been driving a 00 micra automatic and it was a fantastic little car. Dad has lined up a suzuki alto (2004) he's having a look at it tonight. I've looked on line for reviews and they don't look great. Does anyone have any experience of these cars? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

It will feel very pirimative, even compared to the Micra.

Thanks yeah from what I read online they said that it's very basic, all she really needs it for is to drive into work and around the town so it won't be put under too much pressure, just wondering if she will get a year or two out of it without too much hastle, until she has a few quid put together to buy something better?
