  • Thanks again for the help....

    Im now looking at a Ford Fiesta/Ka or Corsa as the insurance is quite cheap for me.

    Im going out looking with OH at weekend, I really need to get something before I go back to work in 3 weeks time.

    Sorry but I really couldnt see myself in a Skoda, I just dont like them at all.

    All the Pugs ive seen are totally chavved up ( so will have been revved to pieces!)

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Ka, for a cheap around town car they are fantastic.

    Skoda's are great cars. What's so bad about them? My guess is some badge snobbery is going on here :p:)

    Compared with a fiesta, ka or corsa more room, more reliable, and most likely as cheap on insurance. Plus Skodas are cheap because of the ignorant badge snobs and therefore represent good value for money.

    Someone is currently selling this for £500

    Do you want something to get you from A to B or something to look cool in and "cruise" round your estate? :D
