What is a good every day car ?

[novadave24]

I am looking for a everyday car as my golf will be going in the garage for the winter but not sure what to go for I looking to spend around £500 to £1,200 just want to see what people would go for and a bit of help I have been looking at

1. vw golf mk4 gti
2. Vauxhall corsa c sxi or sri 1.4 or 1.8
3. saxo vtr or vts
4. Vauxhall astra or astra van
5.vauxhall Vectra b or c
6. maybe a Vauxhall nova

I know there is more don't know what one to buy any help would be great

What about that 3 series your selling

Anything Japanese. Or a Focus/Mondeo.

Can't believe you included Vectra's under good cars.

From that list there's only two I'd have.
Keep it cheep, so 1400 for tax class after September 01, so that narrows it to the Corsa c really..

Or go older and grab a mk3 Astra 1400.

Mk4 golf gt tdi . Good on fuel and cheap tax. It will also drive better than any Vauxhall.

I don't think you'll get one worth buying at £1200..
It will just be a heap of crap full of issues.

MK4 astras are piss cheap these days because the VED is a bit irritating. Great car though.

You should get a Clio 172 for the budget too, itll be a rat but hey its like an XE nova should be

Mk4 astra, nice cheap car.

I've just bought a F**d Puma 1.6 for £500 and it's brilliant to drive.
