    I personally like MG ZR's - they are quite nice looking, fastish, and cheap!! Its what I want anyway when I replace my car. Cheap as chips!

    There was a similar post a few weeks back from Itgirl - think she's sorted now!!

    What I suggested to her was to think about NEW cars - where they offer FREE insurance, within the deal.

    Ford quite often do this on Fiesta, so a pretty good car for city life!!

    & when you work out the value of the insurance, it can easily outstrip the depreciation costs, for the first year or so - plus you'll not have to worry about warranties & expensive servicing & maintainence bills, too soon!

    If you wanted to go used - the Motability auctions, mentioned, are a pretty good source of low & verry low mileage, genuine (ish) cars!!
