(my EX) Up the wall/round the bend.
Had a few friends/colleagues with them and all have been reasonably happy, I’ve not heard many complaints and some have bought more than one! Wouldn’t have one myself I’d just get a fiesta if I wanted a cheap run around!I would question that the 500 is a decent car. They seem to be incredibly poorly built.
2012 Mk 7 Fiesta. Its got a gutless 1.2 4 cylinder but as a city car and short work commutes it's perfect. Handles nicely, cheap to run, acceptable boot space fine for weekends away even with some baby stuff etc. I would have preferred if she'd gone a class size up but she's not the most confident of drivers and wanted smaller.
Does your partner just pick the car she likes the look of? Do you have any input? Are your car buys coordinated for max utility, fun or convenience?
