“Best Used car you can buy on a budget”

written by airevalleybantam on 01/07/2013

Lets get this straight, this isnt the greatest car in the world. it has common faults as do most cars BUT it has far more plus's than negatives.
As a used car its a great buy. you can get one for less than £1k with decent mileage. Its nippy round town and far better than other simular small cars of its class at this. styling wise it still looks great against newer cars 15 years on. the interior is pretty comfy the back seat a decent size compared to other small cars. petrol wise it runs above average. but all of this is down to how you drive. if you want a car that will cruise along and you don't have to actually DRIVE then its not for you. i'm 41 yr old man and i feel pretty happy driving it, its not a girls car in fact i reckon it'll suit a young lad better tbh. Common faults can be the usual you get after heavy mileage : gear box - clutch - belt - suspension. but these are regular faults in many cars. find a cheap local garage with a decent mechanic and this car really will go on forever. We took our 110000 miles 206 to wembley and back (440 miles) with a full load and had no problems at all - perfect first car or runaround for home or days out.
