Well in January we'll be buying a new family car, effectively waving goodbye to the Mini. It's been a great car, but it's too thirsty and expensive to run. Anyway here are the contenders:
Lancia Ypsilon Sport (Diesel, 105bhp, 5-speed, 17.500€)
FOR
-Cheap
-Frugal
-Well equiped
AGAINST
-MPVish looks
-Not as much car as the others
-No xenons available at all
Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 TS 3dr (Petrol, 105bhp, 5-speed, 19.000€)
FOR
-Nice interior, driving position
-Practical
-Attention to detail
AGAINST
-Dated
-Thirsty
-Bad manoeuvrability
Volvo C30 1.6i (Petrol, 100bhp, 5-speed, 20.700€)
FOR
-Stylish
-Modern
-Safe
AGAINST
-Expensive
-Slowest
-Heaviest
So which one is going to be?
