Buying a New Car

Liam-_3

Hi Guys,

I have decided to narrow it down to three cars so please advise on which is the best one to get and if you know of any current deals available.

Kia Picanto 3dr
Skoda CitiGo
Hyundai i20

Thanks very much for your replies!


[[ I need to buy a new car but really stuck as what to buy. I need a small car, no more than 1.2l, less than £10,000

Are there any good finance offers available, or would I be better getting a bank loan and paying cash for a car - gaining a discount this way.

Any help is much appreciated ]]

You might get a better discount on a car if you take the dealer's finance.

Skoda Citigo The best value for money car anywhere – will cost less to buy, own and run than any other car bought new. Group 1 insurance, great dealers, strong predicted resale values.

You could get a bottom spec. Citroen C1 for £7k.

(We could do with a little more information about your useage and requirements for sensible suggestions... You also need to stop thinking in terms of engine capacity - you can get a Focus with a reasonably capable 1L engine.)

That's a pretty bold statement, which I suspect isn't true... As well as the C1 I mentioned, the cheapest Dacia is about £6k isn't it?

Thanks very much. Probably around 7000miles and city use, motorway use but not very often.

I agree, sounds OTT. Shame Pentagon have sold out of the 107s for under £6000, they were a steal.

Proper 4 cylinder engine, 1.25 so good enough for your motorway journeys too.

Zero 'road tax' (until the Government change the rules at least...)

7 year warranty

Big car features (alloys, bluetooth, iPod connectivity, air con, power fold mirrors, fog lamps etc.)

Launched in 2011 so much more advanced than C1/107 from a safety perspective

Chain driven engine, no sh*tty cam belt to worry about!

IMO better than the Skoda, on a different planet to the Dacia.
