    the girlfriend is looking at getting a new car, she wants something in the low tax band(08+) and something diesel. we brought a 08 avensis but she found it 2 big for her, also tried a vectra and was the same story of being too big. we tried a 09 ibiza but she found it 2 dead so she wants something a bit nippy. thinking a focus but have ye any other recommandations?

    Tell her to cop on and stop wasting time and money.

    Also...you say 'we'. What did you think of the Vectra and Avensis? What did you think of the Ibiza?

    A Golf sounds like it would be the business for her but she'd need to find another grand or so for one, same story with a Honda Civic.

    What about an Astra?? The likes of this yoke

    ya she really likes golfs but just out of her budget(i have a gttdi golf at the min and must say it would easily be the best car i have had), never thought of the astra's, must show her them now and see what she thinks. i showed her the civic 2.2 and she fell in love with it but again out ofher budget

    Apologies, I should have worded what I meant a little better. She has and is driving three extremely mainstream cars. An Avensis, Ibiza and Vectra are hardly thinking outside the box. Neither is a Focus or Golf. If she was test-driving them, surely she would have realised the first two cars were too big, and the Ibiza too slow?

    Why not just get a 1.4 petrol? Even if its before 08, the tax will only be 300 euro, and it opens the market up to you a bit more? Something like a 1.4 C4, or Fiat Bravo?
