The Morris Minor was the best car of the second half of the 20th century. You can get them refurbished and upgraded to modern standards. Don't believe all that rubbish about Beetles, 2CVs etc. They may even be able to get you an automatic.

I can recommend the new astra - used prices have dropped significantly and GM/opel have really upped their game. I'm unsure what the automatic version is like though.


Stay awayt from any small engined diesel if you are a city dweller - The EGR valves can't cope with it.


If warranty is a concern Kia is a good option.


If its access and space maybe a skoda yeti is a good alternative.

I'm not sure that the OP really gives a sh*t on our opinions of cars for him.


In his own words: 'don't-really-care-what-to-get-as-long-as-it-gets-us-around-and-does-not-leave-us-in- the-gutter-too-often'


And then to prove a point he adds: 'We are going to test drive a Kia and see how that goes'



That aside, the thread has nicely evolved into a kind of top-gear-type-cool-wall


So I love Jeremy's choice, is that a Pacer ?


I used to drive one of these, which was obviously inspired by your dream car & boy do I wish I had it now.

    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon. 
    • My husband was in a cycling accident just after 10pm on Friday, May 30.    He hit the pedestrian crossing pole going west down East Dulwich Grove, just past Glengarry Road.    He was knocked out and doesn’t remember anything - and I wanted to say thank you to whoever called the ambulance, and was there with him after the accident. (And to give you an update: thankfully, there was no head injury. He got very lucky with just a fractured face.)   We’re trying to get CCTV footage - but if there any witnesses who can help paint a clearer picture of what happened, it would be really appreciated.
