WHICH CAR SHOULD WE LOOK INTO BUYING?
We looking to buy a family car 5 door, we were thinking in the line of maybe a corsa or somethink like a citroen or maybe a ford cmax any idear as we never own any of these.
I would not call a Corsa a "family" car by any stretch of the imagination, it is a small car. My son reckons that 50% of the income in his garage comes from French Cars.
You need to decide how big a car you need. A C-Max is much, much larger than a Corsa, so much so that no-one should really be considering both. Citroën produce a wide range of models from the C1 (very small) to the C5 estate, Grand C4 Picasso, and van-based Berlingo and Dispatch.
What is your budget?
Is your driving mostly in towns, or outside towns? Short or long journeys?
How many people are in your family?
What age are your children - do you still need pushchairs, or prams? Or are they lanky teenagers so you need legroom in the back?
However, assuming you need a simple mid-sized (for the UK) family car, look for a Kia Cee'd with some of the original manufacturers warranty left (it was 7 years / 100,000 miles). It is an appliance rather than an enthusiasts car, but it does the job. An Astra will also be decent but cheap, a Focus a bit more expensive, but better to drive, and a Golf more expensive still, not as good to drive as a Focus, but has nicer plastics inside, but all had only 3-year warranties.
Honda vans are pretty reliable.
I would recommend audi a3 honda fit lexus ct200 Toyota hybrid. Any of these are great 5door
Do NOT buy any kind of french car. Go for german, or japanese.
Did you try to do a search on Google?
- 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
- What to look for when buying a used 2004 Ford Mustang? I'm going to look at a 2004 Ford Mustang this week. It has 101,000 miles on it. If I but it it will be my first car, so I want to make sure that it is in great shape and won't break down in me. Check the link and tell me if it is a good deal. What do I look for when inspecting it? Thanks! http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/4454973116.html
- For a restoration, what major parts of a car do I need to look into pricing and buying? I have a Ford 1967 Fastback Mustang with literally nothing "mechanical". I'm making a list/guideline of what I need to complete the restoration, What I need to know is what major parts of the car I need to buy.
- Look into this and you will see for yourself that Ford is a LIAR.Do you really want the truth? In her letter she stated she was "in her late teens" and it happened "in the late 1980s" then before her polygraph (administered by her lawyer with only 2 questions) Ford CHANGED her written statement to say "some time in the 1980s" because her lawyer told her that in the late 1980s Cavanaugh was in Yale living on campus hundreds of miles away.
