Missus needs a new car. Something around 1.0l - 1.2l, not huge miles, it'll just be a run around for work and popping around for leisure.
She hasn't passed her test yet (test next week) so needs to be cheap on the old insurance. Around £2.5k budget.
I suggested Ford Fiesta (around 2008 era), but insurance can be steep. She suggested Citreon C1/C2 and they're low insurance group but I'm unsure about reliability (basing this on the saxos).
Any suggestions? If we go for Citreon is there something we should look out for, common faults/problems?
