But I'm a girl I'm supposed to like them On a practical level I can buy one second hand for £2000, low tax and low insurance!

As Jack Dee once said:
"The car with a suprising amount of space: None."
And £2000? Give ME the £2000 and I'll get you a decent runnable car for £500. Thats what I did...

You make a good case, but as far as most men are concerned, you are contemplating the purchase of a shopping trolley! (And I'm not exactly a Petrolhead!)

I need a car that will drive further than 20 yards though and not need double the amount I paid for it to get it through it's MOT!

Point of fact: If 'double the amount you paid for it' is only £300, don't even worry about it. I could arrange that for you...

In case my point didn't hit home... IT'S A MOTORISED ROLLER-SKATE! You'd be better off with a secondhand Ford Ka or Peugeot 206 or even a thirdhand VW Polo / Lupo.

No. Never have, in fact. But, you can find decent cars for dirt cheap. So far I have owned three cars, costing £595, £3,995 and £500. The second was by far the most expensive in repairs, and has broken down most often.
