I can't give suggestions on new cars, don't like them. But whatever you do, just have a think at any suggestions, don't just shoot them down in flames.
Well....tbh I probably won't, not all of it anyway. I think she just wants me to get something reliable and cheap enough to run so i can forget about that and get on with other things. One of the conditions of getting that money will be to buy something newer though, although I do see your point about getting a cheaper older car, it's not gonna work like that.
Think about any suggestions? Im just waiting for someone to suggest a GWiz or something.
But yes, Im not gonna do my usual 'no' all the time.

A4 is probably a bit big.....I wouldn't mind an A3, but have no idea what thier engines are like these days, particulary something like a 1.6 petrol I guess?

They are tax free and the cost even brand new is -10kish.
The downsides are it seems the steering wheel has no connection to the wheels, the seats are excruciating and the first time you try to figure out how to put it in reverse will leave you screaming
Hmm, not a bad suggestion...but go on then, how'd you get reverse?
