My missus wants a new car and has got a budget of £7000 or so ...
By "new" do you actually mean new, or just different?
I suspect that you might get a more meaningful responses if you gave a wee bit more detail on your missus' criteria than just "a budget of £7000 or so" and "Doesn't need anything fancy or super-quick - just a reliable, safe, economical motor."different
Somehow I don't think that you will find many Hyundai i20s available for £7000 or so although you might find an ex-demo model for that price; certainly a Micra or a Yaris is a possibility.i20 ?
