The Little Run About Thread

[DCLane]

I did a search on Autotrader, hatchback, big boot, group 3. Lots of Volkswagon Polo, Skoda Fabia, Dacia Sandero, a Renault Clio popped up (didn't know they still made them).

But also a handful of Ford Fiestas appeared but none below £5k, I do like a small Ford though.

Small five doors and a decent boot has to be a Polo or Fabia. CityGo or Ups are too small in the boot.

Used, decent small cars are fetching silly money currently. Even a 10 year old Up is £5k for a good one.

Of those not much is in group 3 or below, which is where we're at. There's a Sandero Laureate with enough 'toys' but sadly that's all. I'd agree with the CityGo/Mii/Up - far, far too small.

@DCLane a note gets my vote , loads of room to get two people and our tandem in or five people and luggage.

Try and avoid the latter ones as very much a Renault with a Nissan badge

I'd have agreed but it's too high an insurance group for her, given SWMBO has a fondness for getting her photo taken by yellow cameras mounted on a pole.

Oh, and she's struggling to drive my Vauxhall Agila as it's too 'boxy', so I've added rear parking sensors to the must-have list. The Agila's tiny!

Tomorrow I'm test-driving something small, red and Italian on SWMBO's behalf as she's busy. A trip ensues ...
