Hi,

Looking at getting a new car, should have around £6k to play with.

I have a clio already and ideally would like something a little bigger, although i have been looking at Clio 172's. I'm 21, 3 years driving and 1 yrs ncd. Can get insured on the 172 for approx £950. So insurance shouldnt be too much of an issue.

Requirements -

No Mondeos or large saloons

Must have some kick, i realise for £6k your arent going to get much faster than a 172 but i do want a car that moves well.

Dont mind a car with some mileage on but dont want moon mileage

Car should be newer than 51 plate

Cheers, Russ

Agreed. If he wants a hatchback that is superbly chuckable around the B-roads, then the 172 is the car to get in this price bracket. If however he fancies a nice place to sit, and a car that will cope better with longer, more uniform drives, then the 172 isn't such a great proposition.
