You need small Japanese petrol if you really want trust in a car.
Colt or Similar. The 1.1 colt does amazing mpg, sounds ace and is fun to drive. +jap reliability. Same with civic 1.4vtec....micra 1.0/1.3...list is good for choice.
That being said we did 50k miles in my ph1 xud turd on stg1 tune and veg. Only thing that it let me down on was starter relay....after being driven through a lake by the mrs...and clutch, due to me spilling a lot of veg over the bell housing.
So without those two issues...it was faultless tbh
Plus comfy and practical. Rust free too. And fun. And cheap to insure and buy service bits for (£27 all in for full service bits)
Why do people get SO caught up in this cheaper tax bracket thing and compromise on car choice....spread over the year its nothing. Its like people who buy a car to pull a caravan for just one holiday a year. Mad.
