    17 soon, looking at some cars on Autotrader.

    Thinking maybe a Clio or a Corsa? Anyone confirm these are good possible choices? Not too badly price, look good and reliable?

    Any advice appreciated. Cheers.

    I've got a 2001 Clio, 1.2 engine.

    Failed its MOT last week - had to spend £120-£150 (not sure exactly..I didn't pay it!) on getting its brakes completely repaired.

    Failed it the year before too, the axel bushes (?) had gone amongst other things which was a £300 repair bill.

    The previous owner had no problems at all with it - I think I drive it too quick :(

    I've got a silver 06 Fiesta ghia.

    My next car will hopefully be either the new Corsa or Astra.

    My ex had a 99 v reg Clio that she bought brand new. It's first MOT cost her £300. She drove it sensibly. Maybe Kelly and my ex have had bad luck?

    perhaps. French cars are meant to be very reliable...

    Yes, but mine will look all the more awesome than any other Fiesta on the road after I have finished doing it up...

    MARK MY WORDS!

    Well I wanna get a black 3 door Zetec, then make the back 3 windows tinted, lower the car a good few inches, wack on some rims, maybe a sun strip, the top it off with my awesome personalised number plate...

    WOOP WOOP!
