Just want some opinions,
The wife needs a smaller car and were sick of sub 30 to the gallon car. She only does about 5k per year tootling round and wants something small.
She wants either a Fiat 500 sport 1.3 diesel or a 1.2 Corsa sxi
Anyone got experiences of either?

I bought a new 500 Twin Air for the missus, it's just turned 12 months old.
It's surprisingly quick, road tax is free and on a decent run I can get between 65 - 70mpg. Doing the school run it drops to 50 - 55mpg.
It's a great car, just had its first service at 18k which was £170 or so and i'd definitely buy another.0 -
what about suzuki alto? not a bad car and perfectly capable economy wiseI rode what you dug last summer0

Not sure about the Suzuki, she always wants the sporty bits (alloys, upgraded interior etc) I wanted her to get the Swift sport until I saw how shitty the consumption is.GIANT XTC 2.5

I'm disappointed with so many responses.

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

@clunkers. Why? We both work and pool our money. Surely that's how most marriages work? And shoot she's got me by balls anyhow with having 2 children.
