    What about Fabia/Ibiza? They are basically Polo's in a different dress so the unlying build quality will be there

    Or even a Yaris, they arent bad motors

    Get a 69 Dodge Charger! Would love to see the quote on one of them haha.

    I'd personally go for a ride in all 3 of them, see how you like them. Car might look amazing, ride is a whole different ballgame.

    Well... just to update; missed out on the fiesta I was interested in but am going to look at a 2000-reg 206 tomorrow. 1 owner, full service history, 12 months mot and apparently 21k miles on the clock? 0.o not sure if a mistype, suspicious milometer or just it was owned by some old granny well I'm sure the condition will tell

    I disagree completely.....

    Sending it to the scrap yard after the gearbox has fallen out is actually quite simple.

    Dude read through this thread tehre are loads of good suggestions.

    Honestly mate Peugeot's are like the bottom of the barrel **** car, I mean hey, you might get lucky and get one that doesn't get any problems, but on the scale of reliability of all manufacturers Peugeot is literally the scum on the bottom of the pond.
