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.

    • I wouldn't undervalue your expertise Bob.  When I occasionally have professionals around they always thank me for advice and don't mind the work taking twice the time.  One offered to treat me with an old fashioned sixpence to go to the flicks and go away.  Although even the Plex isn't that cheap.
    • St Christopher's on LL I'd list them for free as well on this website.
    • I've got noisy neighbours.  Some are always cutting wood and metal over the weekend and into the summer evenings using mitre saws, angle grinders and the like.  Breaking up concrete with Kangos.  Getting concrete poured or skips changed at 7 in the morning. And then there are those to lazy (they say they are busy) to cut their lawns and hedges cut, so rather than using quieter electric mowers etc the professional do it with motor mowers and electric strimmers.  Then there are the BBQs and outdoor parties, with the loud music and conversations, or the kids' parties the worst culprit has a pool so in warm weather kids swarm round there.  There are noise controls for building work and big DIY projects, but many don't adhere to them.  So much for good neighbours.
    • I think the main issue was with the wind - sound waves are physical and will be blown around.
