Sensible suggestions please. I've got to move offices at work so I'll need to buy a little car to trolley around in. What will £5000 buy me?

A Renault Clio is quite a nice little girlie car... peppy and good handling too. Or a 206... I love them...

But I'm not a girlie girl and I know that French cars are shit and are about as reliable as an Alfa only less attractive!! The new Honda Civic's are quite nice Cav.

French cars aren't shit, never had a problem with the 306s or 206s I've known... admittedly heard other people had problems with them, shit happens! *shrugs* Honda Civic! Don't forget the bodykit and some furry dice!

Ford Focus or VW Golf. Both reliable and cheap to maintain. Especially the Focus

I was gonna suggest a VW Golf - they seem popular and quite nippy. I have a French car and it hasn't been as reliable as I would have hoped.

I wouldn't mind another Focus. Bit boring but the 1.6 is pretty nippy.

I am a bit fanatical about the Golf, but we love ours and it goes like hot snot (now it's been serviced). Fantastic fuel economy (but it is a diesel), huge boot, nice looking. As has been said though, the Focus is fab and everyone I know who's had/got one loves them. Is that what you had before? How's Sheffield? Getting back to normal?

Don't know a great deal about them. Sheffield is fine. Still raining but the mud and silt it getting cleared away now. Very bizarre experience.
