what should I go for?
currently driving an 11 year old Ford which has cost me an arm and a leg over the last 2 years with various bits and pieces (suspension or lack thereof seemed to be a big problem, dont know how many times I replace bushings, bearings, shocks).
What I want is a car that is very reliable, with 5 doors, preferably a hatchback. I plan on buying in the UK.
Possibilities are Toyota Corolla (but boy do they hold their value, bad for a buyer!), VW Golf, Honda Civic.
I don't want another Ford, and don't want a Fiat, Daewoo, Hyundai, Renault, Nissan or Opel.
I had hoped to switch to a small engine diesel but doesn't seem possible for the money I have to spend.
Will look at honestjohn website, are there any other websites that I should look at also for car reviews?
thanks.
