My Mum is due to get a new car within the coming months, which means that I may also be up for getting a new set of wheels. Possibly with an upper limit of £2,500 I've so far come up with a 2001 Peugeot 306 Meridian 1.6 (Met paint, foglights, half-leather sports seats, CD-player and wheel controls, A/C, electric windows/mirrors and remote locking w/ alarm & alloy wheels)
At a push a 2003 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.4 may be accessible.
As I currently drive the only Mazda in the student car park, having something 'different' to everyone else in their Golfs, Polos, Corsas, Clios, 500s, MINIs etc seems cool, seeing as someone as already stolen my nearly life-long dream of a mk1 Ford Escort...
Has to be cheaper to insure than a Group 8E Mazda 323!
Any ideas? Thanks.
