how can you tell what colour knickers an essex girl is wearing?

look at her ankles

**zenihan** · 01-11-2010, 01:09 AM

Im surprised noone mentioned this before, but...

Its kinda hard to pick out a car for her without showing us a picture of your daughter so we can make a proper fit.

**voksveta** · 09-27-2010, 06:23 PM

what do you guys think? these are no sports cars

it will be my daughters first car looking at the Fiat panda or the kia picanto both on a 07 plate for around 4k. she is only 18 so need to keep the insurance down. Any other suggestions? 4k cash is my limit.

**OWV9LSxH** · 09-27-2010, 06:30 PM

Wow, you must be old!

Stay away from italian and french cars. They're crap, and repairing them costs more than you think. For example for replacing a headlight bulp Peugeot wants 30€, Volvo on the other hand 12€. Not that I'd need a garage for that, but your daughter might when she's not anywhere near you.

Anyway, I'd have a look for Toyotas, the Ford Fiesta or Focus, or Hondas. Anything from 2005, with a mileage of 80.000km or less. If the inspections were always done properly, they last forever.

Need a car for my daughter

Seems like a fair trade

That's not quite true. Some French and most Italian cars are crap. My mum had a 1999 Renault Clio and then a 2002 renault clio and neither had anything go wrong on them, despite my sister learning to drive on it. They were cheap to insure, even with my sister on them (the 1999 one was 2.5 years old and the 2002 one brand new at that time).

I drove both a few times and I'd recommend one for a first car, but the facelifted version after 2001. That or a corsa or fiesta would be good. I'd definitely avoid the Ford KA after seeing what happens to them in accidents and the Kia will do absolutely nothing for her street cred (with 4k cash to spend you can afford to get her something that her mates won't mind being seen in).

so what you got?

Feel it

.. just turned 40 its all down hill from now on.

**Mangoman** · 09-27-2010, 07:11 PM

Let her buy one herself

**AdSuiteAdobe** · 09-27-2010, 07:14 PM

vauxhall corsa i think , cheap for running and insurance and everyone has one , and its her first car , which tbh will likely end up dented and scratched

**voksveta** · 09-27-2010, 07:15 PM

Let her buy one herself

its a Gift want to surprise her[thumbup], she has an old 1993 nissan micra at the moment which is her nans so whatever i buy should be a big upgrade as she does not even have an Airbag[thumbdown].

**HRS1H7gO** · 09-27-2010, 07:20 PM

Kia Picanto is a good car, get the option with the alloys and metallic paint and its a nice looking well built car.
The new Chev Spark is good too, looks nice much improved over the previous model.
VW Polo is also a good car, the build quality is outstanding for its class, though might be too pricey for what you want to spend, though a demo 1.2L model might be reasonable.

Let her buy one herself

Do you feel its your job to be a douche in every thread here ? Bugger off if you have nothing constructive to add.

**Narcodran** · 09-27-2010, 07:21 PM

Kia Picanto is a good car

Good car...yes. Desirable car for a teenage girl....no.

**voksveta** · 09-27-2010, 07:38 PM

So the panda and picanto no Good for a young Girl? both have very low miles. Fiestas seem to expensive unless i want to buy around a 54 plate.
