Best car - lone woman living rurally

[DoubtjngThomas]

Recently divorced and DD and I live quite rurally. I need a new car but ex was always in charge of that.

Looking for recommendations on a super reliable car,that is economical to run. Not fussy I just don't want to have to worry about it.
Budget could probably stretched to £7/8k

'WHAT CAR' 3 most RELIABLE small cars 2023'.

Fair enough, was just giving the benefit of my own opinion and experience. Also depends on when people move doesn't it? Rural in the summer is very different to rural in the winter for example, and it's a new place to the OP.

Yes, this is why I went for the V40. Less trendy, less frequently stolen, but the same good quality.

And it's been around longer so the glitches have been ironed out.

I’m here to give another shout out to the Škoda Fabia. I’ve had mine for 6 years and it’s been brilliant. I’m semi rural, lots of small lanes round here and it’s a great size for them. It’s in the body shop at the moment after someone reversed into me and I’ve got a courtesy Fiat which doesn’t feel anywhere near as solid.
