windy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Google freedomcontracts. There are some bargain lease deals about at the moment so it is hardly worth bothering to buy a new car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 i hear what you say but lease is not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash test dummy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Lots of views but no comment. Pete, you and I must be the only sad bas*ards looking to buy commuters. Kia Picanto Halo looks like a good deal at the moment. Tax free, 68mpg (in ideal conditions), 1.2 engine and 7 years warranty with lots of toys. Anyone have any opinions?

Crash test dummy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Mmmm. I'm thinking that sitting on the M25 on a hot summers afternoon is going to need A/C at least (oh and alloy wheels ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 What is it with you and fugly cars? Multiplas and KAs top the list Get something like a 12 month old diesel Fiesta or Pug 207. I've got a 1.4HDi of the latter. 65mpg and free road tax plus easy 90mph when needed. Luvly jubby Tow car wise, not got any ideas yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 new ka look quite nice now john. hoping they going to update it with the new 1litre turbo unit. no point getting a 1 year old car these days. new cars seem cheaper with all the discounts about would like a new fiesta. looks nice with that aston martin grill but to pricey steve air con and electric windows and central locking £8200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash test dummy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Picanto, peeeeeeeecanto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Picanto, peeeeeeeecanto! maybe depends on the deal steve halo is £10000 top of the range ka only £9500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris77 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Isn't the ford ka a fiat 500 underneath? The C1 is a Toyota Aygo and a Pegeot 107. Kia seem to of come on a long way from reviews etc. Tow, Skoda Yeti 170 diesel? Missus has the 1.2 2wd and its a comfy car, great for chucking about. People on briskoda seem happy enough with its towing (1800kg braked apparently), although I guess it depends what your lugging about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 yes might look at skodas as well. and yes your right about the others all very similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
