Clio Campus or Twingo or ?

[Schweppy]

My friend (happens to be my ex) is interested in buying a new car as her first car. It has to be around £7/8k and preferably have a 0% finance deal available.

I have told her to look at campuses and twingos and corsas. What do you think is her best option? She loves the twingo GT!!!

Sorry if this in the wrong place.

corsa

Corsa is very good or I'd take the Clio.

Clio Campus Sport i-music for me. If she can stretch to it a 1.5 dci version.

£35 road tax and 55mpg!

Swift?

Panda 100HP?

 

[Schweppy]

She doesnt like Yaris Dan LOL. Her top choice was a 107 XS!!!!! So i showed her the Twingo GT which she now loves!! Shes not my misses anymore so i dont really care LOL but i know you guys know your stuff I think its her dad who is going to pay the finance deal and says it can be no more than 10k with 0% finance?!?! Either way she is a lucky cow.

 

[DrR]

Oh also, what about a fiat 500?

 

[Bluebeard]

Fiat Panda 100hp FTW! good idea Rollo. Awesome little car.

 

[DrR]

Fiesta blue thing they've just bought out,

If i had £8k to spend on a car i defo would not be buying a crappy IMO renault.

 

[Schweppy]

LOL

Panda 100hp model would be difficult for that price a lower engine spec could be dne though easy.

Don't get the Campus. I can't remember where they're built now, Africa is it? Anyway, the one I've been in (so granted, not a big sample heh) was rattly as hell and was only a month old - the build quality and even trim materials seemed miles worse than any other, well I was gonna say Renault I've ever been in, but I'm gonna up that and say 'car I've ever been in' heh! Just MHO of course. With £8k for a brand new car, a Mk3 Clio, a C2, an Ayo, a 107, a Ka, a Fiesta, she has plenty of choice.

Oh also, what about a fiat 500?

Saw one of these in the flesh last month and i was very impresed the image of fiat has certainly changed recently Im pretty sure it will hold its value well too and im sure they are only a £1k extra than a panda

Marry the girl and let her use your old 182

 

[Schweppy]

Hahahaha very funny. I don't think i would ever do that now although it did look like it at one stage!!!

 

[paul]

The Clio Campus and the Twingo are made in Slovenia, NOT Africa. I'd plump for a Twingo, the Campus is pretty long in the tooth now.

 

[edde]

the Campus is pretty long in the tooth now.

But on the other hand the probems have been fixed.

 

[BIG jts]

The Campus at and the i music are not on 0% the Twingo is...

 

[DrR]

I fail to see how the fiat 500 is not the 100% winner here?

You working tomorrow afternoon? I think we are coming down to have a look around and get some prices.

 

[theduck]

Because Fiat build quality is worse than Renault! I have driven all the cars you are talking about except the fiat, I will never drive another fiat, i hate mine, its the worst car I have ever owned. Personally I would get the Twingo GT, I loved it!

Cost?
