Another 'which car is best' thread 8-)

Flunch · 2012-01-25 16:31:44

Looking for some advice please guys. Getting my first car in the next few months and I have it narrowed down to three.. Opel Corsa, Renault Clio and Toyota Yaris. Have no more than €2000 to spend and im looking for something reliable and cheap to run (hence the small engine sizes). Anybody know anything about these cars…

Have no more than €2000 to spend and im looking for something reliable and cheap to run (hence the small engine sizes). Anybody know anything about these cars and which would be best? Are there any others I should be considering?

Also it seems that I could get a 03 Clio/Corsa for the same price as a 00 Yaris.. Why is this? Is it beacuse Toyotas are apparently more reliable?

Any info much appriciated guys, thanks

Toyota Yaris by far its reliable nippy and practical for a car of its size.

When you're spending that kind of money your best bet is to forget about make/model and buy on condition.
