If you had to drive a "sensible" car...

....What would it be for you?

I used to drive a 1,000cc Fiat Panda as a second car and it was great fun and extremely practical. Lacking real power but was okay once wound up. So.........

Having read about it in the new mag title "Performance Tuner", I would seriously consider the latest Panda 100bhp 115mph 6-speed 1,368cc 43mpg for a fiver less than 10 grand. A car of great character and could be modded!!

I don't suppose that many of you here are old enough to remember this:

Fiat 500 of sorts, but it goes a bit, a friend of my dads has a habbit of collecting these, even though he can't actually fit in them lol 169144-ok.gif

I would buy another TSI engined Golf. Good residuals, almost diesel like economy and reasonable performance. smile.gif

....I think I should have put a limit of 1.4 engine size on this thread!

....You're the one who inspired me to start this thread - I feel for your loss!

Golf TSI is probably the best of all as a "sensible" ride.

My boss in Sweden has one. He suggests the power delivery is lumpy. Is this normal or should he get it into a dealer?

Is it? confused.gif

Well it's a an Abarth that's for sure,and I used to love the way the boot stayed open and showed the oil cooler-they occasionally turned up at Italian car shows but are very rare in Britain.

Think I'd go for the Suzuki Swift as I saw a new one at the weekend and it looked very good indeed. 169144-ok.gif
