Go for cheap and Japanese, our Almera has done over 100K now and in those 100,000 miles not a single thing has ever gone wrong with it, never missed a beat.
My newer Peugeot on the other hand suffers some form of new catastrophic failure every other day and has probably cost me 10x what the Almera is worth in repairs alone.
