Evening gents.

GF needs a new car, shes got circa £7k for one, no trade in of any value. At the moment she drives a X reg base spec Fiesta thats been in a few bumps, its got a fairly bent boot lid and rear light, as well as sellotaped wing mirror etc etc.

She doesn't like the Golf, but at the moment is happy to look and test drive an Audi A3 and Ford Focus, shes not adversed to anything bigger like a 3 series, but I doubt she would actually go for something with, as she puts it "a back"

She doesn't like my MX5 because to her its to raw, would the MGTF be less so, the one I drove briefly appeared to be so but I couldnt get along with its driving position so didn't waste the salesman's time finding out how bad it really was.

So OcUK, baring in mind shes not to fussy (although im sure some colours are guna be veto'd as well as her seeing a car adorned with family/baby crap puts her off a car for 10 mins or so), what should she be looking at for this money?
 
You mention hatchbacks and an MGTF... What type of car does she want? :confused:

Thats the thing, shes not fussy and is happy to give anything a try, including a car "with a back" such as a 3 series etc. Im just trying to figure out what represents good value for money at this price point.

Obviously an 8k Corsa or Clio would not be a good buy, but would an 8k 2002 audi A3 1.8T 150 be a decent buy for this price?
