    Hi there,
    Anyone recommend a car for the missus! Her first motor.
    Mainly using it for kids school runs and the odd 120 km round trip (once a week) to Dublin.
    Budget of 3k....
    She is not interested in a saloon or any "BIG" car:rolleyes:.

    Thanks.

    A 1.3L Ford Fiesta.
    A 1.4L Golf
    A 1L Micra
    A 1.2L Fiat Punto
    A 1.5L Almera hatchback

    Any of them cars are pretty reliable
    I'd stay away from 1ltr peugeots, Corsas etc, nothing but heaps of junk.

    Honda jazz or Yaris are solid options for her. Leave off the 1.4 golf me man above posted.
