Currently she has a Ford Cougar 2.8 V6 auto, which has 122k miles, and runs fine, but it's starting to show it's age. Right now she leaks a lot of oil, and plugging holes all the time is costly in contracting business and boring. Hence, we are looking for a replacement. Golf GTI (55 Reg, £6000, 89k miles), Audi A3 (06 Reg, 89k miles, £6000), Honda Civic iV-tec(2007, 57k miles, £4200). Has anyone got any personal experience on these cars? Thoughts?

Both leak, but the car is more worrisome. I don't mind plugging the bird. I would mind if anyone else did, however...Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.Comment

What's she looking for in a car? Anyway women choose cars completely differently to men. They mostly like blue ones.Comment

Lol. Is that an Aventador? Not her taste, I am sure. She is still deciding whether she wants a DSG box or stick with normal auto. I keep telling her that Skoda Fabia 1.2l etc is a waste because their realistic max speed is about 100 mph, and she drives her cougar at 80-90 mph on dual carriagewaysOriginally posted by doodab View Post

She wants a smaller car, because currently she struggles with parking and goes round in circles in the parking lot to park between 2 white lines instead of 3Originally posted by DimPrawn View Post
Then again, she thinks she is ok with loss power as long as the car looks cute and drives well. I tell her that it is difficult to go from 168 bhp, 2.8 v6 to a 90 bhp 1.2l engine. Better take her to drive a skoda fabia.I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.Comment

Obviously this one:
The only person who knows what car to pick is the lady in question - you can rationalise all you want and show her pages of reviews and data, but ultimately she will just pick the one that feels right and woe betide anyone who disagrees.Comment

What sort of bird is it?
A parrot would be pleased with this car
but possibly too big for a canary or finch.Comment
