Which Car?

Options
Hi everybody,

I am planning to buy a used car for my wife and after doing some research I shortlisted 5 models.

1. Peugeot 206 2002-2003
2 Fiat Punto 2003
3 Renault Clio 2002
4 Ford Ka 2003
5 Vauxhall corsa 2002

These cars are based on average mileage of upto 60,000 and are in range of £2000

Can somebody please help me decide the one which is most reliable and economical to maintain and run?

Thanks

    A few things:

    1) This may be far better in another section, advice about cars isnt really anything to do with students :confused:

    2) We really need more information, such as are they petrol, engine size etc
    The one i'd pick from the lot is the 206, I find Peugeot's nice to drive and exceptionally reliable. I'd probabaly avoid the Fiat, as I dont think they quite have the reliability of the others. But the other ones are all much of a much-ness. I dont like driving Ford's, but thats just a personal preference.
