A cheap to run car?
Just got my payout for car insurance after my car being stolen :mad: and now thinking about buying a new one, I've been looking around on here but thought i'd make my own thread.
I can use the payout to buy but I don't have much incomings at the moment and looking for something cheap to run, okay to insure, and hopefully doesn't break down!
Does anyone have any ideas for a good little car that is cheap to run? Thank you!

MK2 fiesta 1.1 popular...on classic insurance, tax exempt.
On a serious, note, It would all depend on your budget for the car, your insurance and tax bracket.0 -
Sorry, couldn't resist, this should be perfect with summer almost upon us.

Renault Zoe if you can accommodate a home charger, and the range fits your commute.0

I would suggest narrowing things down a bit more......
What mileage per year, how many passengers, how much space etc etc..... and most importantly how much do you want to spend?0 -
Any small car with small engine will be reasonably cheap to run.
Corsa, 107, KA, C1, Aygo, IQ, Mito...lots to choose from.0 -

A small petrol car, like a Fiesta? (to be constructive).
However, I have the feeling that it does matter if it's a dark colour...0 -
I'll ask the obvious questions - what did you have that was stolen? Why not buy the same again? If you couldn't afford to run that - then the rest of the questions have been asked already.Just got my payout for car insurance after my car being stolen :mad: and now thinking about buying a new one, I've been looking around on here but thought i'd make my own thread.

A Toyota Aygo for zipping around town and occasional longer journeys. Cheap to insure and cheap to run.0
