Previously posted under 'Mileage checking' Had my 1.2 Dynamique nearly a week, and well, see the Subject. I needed a car to replace my trusty Pug 206 1.4 which some bleeder wrote off for me in Nov. Can't decide if I'm going mad, expecting a car to do more than get me from A to B safely, but it just doesn't excite. It's safer, more refined, more economical, much easier to drive, pulls well at low speeds. So why don't I like it better than my old car ? On the other hand, the ride is very unforgiving, it doesn't reward the driver, the gear lever vibrates, and there are noises (not necessarily rattles) from the sunroof. Is the problem me, should I just get on with life, or is there a problem with modern cars. |

It's a small economical shopping-trolley hatchback.
Could be a Clio, a Corsa, a Polo, a whatever. It's a small boring bland
identikit hatch. You need to check the steering wheel to see what marque it
is.

For a small garden hatch, anyway.

I know I'd rather a 1.25 Fiesta. It's a hoot to drive, the 1.4 even more so. |
time I can, it's very rewarding to drive, if you drive it well.

Seconded - I take the 1.25 Fiesta out as preference over the other car any time I can, it's very rewarding to drive, if you drive it well. |

So what SHALL I buy.
I've been thinking of;
Cinq Sporting
MR2 Mk1
Ibiza GTI 8v (the torquey 115bhp Golf engine)
Bravo 1.2 16v
Focus 1.6/1.8
