Don't buy a prius, get a 106
Car review of Peugeot 106 1.5 D by day-trader

Advantages: Fuel economy, Reliable, Cheap to maintain.
Disadvantages: It's French

You can't go wrong with a Yaris
Car review of Toyota Yaris 1.0 by minimunchkin91

Advantages: Cheap to run, insure and tax, looks amazing
Disadvantages: None!

Price My 2007 56 reg Toyota Yaris cost £4000 which came with a 6 month warranty, road tax and a full M.O.T. This was bought from a small, local garage and compared to the larger dealerships, this was a steal! I think because Toyota's aren't as popular as ... Read review

96-03 subaru justy 1.3 GX a reliable runabout
Car review of Subaru Justy 1.3 AWD by mrspivvy

Advantages: small, easy to park, cheap road tax,well made and reliable
Disadvantages: small! some parts expensive, ride and economy not the best, standard stereo is very poor.

We purchased a 1997 Justy in 2007 for the 4x4 capability, living in the welsh valleys where winters can be harsh. The vehicle was advertised as having "slight tappet rattle" but this turned out to be little end failure- a major engine fault, and one which ... Read review

A great car as always from Skoda
Car review of Skoda Fabia 1.4 Estate by billfrance

Advantages: Good value for money, handling and manoevring is good
Disadvantages: 8 valve engine which makes heavy load nearly impossible

The Skoda Fabia is a simple car and this is personified by the lack of buttons and dials. But it has all the essential instruments and though it may be expensive, this is well worth the price for the excellent build quality and the solid structure which i ... Read review

Car review of Volkswagen Polo 1.0 by Clurbur85

Advantages: Good price, easy to drive, feels safe, smooth gears, four doors, efficient.
Disadvantages: It takes a while to pick up speed, old fashioned interior

When I heard that an old school friend was selling his 1999 T-reg VW Polo for £500, I thought that it was something I should invest in. At the time I was driving a 1993 Nissan Micra - which resembled a tin can - so the time had come to buy a replacement. ... Read review

The petrol drinking green machine
Car review of Peugeot 206 1.6 by missgroovychick

Advantages: Top of the range, sleek, drives well
Disadvantages: A petrol drinker

This version of the 206 is luxurious for a normally basic and small car. I have to share this car with my mum as she can only drive automatic and I can drive both. The interior is leather so watch out in summer, it burns and you stick to it, but do not fe ... Read review
