This is true, thus what would she like to buy? Presumably she's got her own views on what she might want rather than just not want?

How much does it cost to Oldham?
I came to you lot for pointers, not being a car man myself. Of course she has her own views. She wants something fairly cool, fairly reliable and fairly affordable- any ideas Vick?

Yes, as I said a Skoda Fabia, probably get a VRS for the top budget. How old is she, insurance a consideration? Can be 000s for a young driver, you lending her the cash for that too (as part of or on top of budget)
I also said Mini or Fiat 500. A Ford Fiesta?
Anything other than a Corsa, driven by young louts (male and female) who don't wear seatbelts around here at least

Or a Ford Ka which is the same thing, made in the same Polish factory but cheaper to buy. I've had one for a year and it's a huge improvement on the Polo I had before. Celinette #2 also prefers it.

She's towards her late 20s. Insurance not an issue.
She's circumspect around fords due to the last one she had being a lemon.
We'll be looking at Seat/VAG, Vauxhall I think.
I'm running a Skoda Fabia as an insurance replacement at the moment. Good little car apart from the engine which is a tinny bollock.

Yes I have the VRS...which isn't
I don't think Vauxhall are German? Aren't they GM?
Would never buy French and the Golf I stupidly bought (to replace one that got stolen) had been in an undeclared smash. Buy from a dealer with warranty if you can, even if it costs a bit more
