New Car

[Viking1987]

Hi All I am new here come here hoping to get some answers/suggestions Many thanks in advanced I appreciate any form of help.

Anyways I have just passed my driving test (I am 29 years old) a bit late I know but finally got round to it - so now the time has come to look for a first car

I am not looking for anything top of the range just a basic motor for a first time car to last me a year or 2 to help get the cost down on the insurence for no claims

My preferences are: not a small boot(trunk) and adiqute space in the back as me andm y partener have two children Oh and also nothing too steep to insure

Thank you all for viewing my post.

Congratulations on passing your test!

What about a Ford Focus? Cheap to repair and insure and a decent amount of room in the back and boot. They're pretty reliable too.

:) Thank you, Been advised alot about ford focus and got told it was cheap to put things right I was looking at fiesta but think the boot and back aren't great on space I was also looking at skoda fabia obviously not as big as a focus but i was told mixed reviews about skoda that there aint no good and they are expensive fo parts but on the other end some other people said skoda did used to have a bad name but they are alot more reliable now than they were a few years back

Anybody know if they are expensive to put right say did something did go wrong

A Skoda Fabia will be very reliable.

I don't think it will cost much more than any other car to put right. It's readily available in this country etc.

Skoda regularly tops reliability and owner satisfaction surveys. They are essentially VWs these days but with a lower price tag. Look at Honest John for impartial reviews.
