Downsizing suggestions?.

My sister is downsizing from an Alfa Romeo 156 1.8Ltr and looking at car's around the 1€10k mark.

Any suggestions lads?.

I was thinking along the lines of a Ford Focus or Citroen C4.

She might even consider an Alfa 147 since she loves her present car, but she can't justify the size and raod tax now.

Dont know if you would get many C4's for under €10k
If i was in the same situation, i'd be looking at some of these types;

2002 Honda Civic 1.6 & 1.4

Thanks for the reply Senna.

I should have added that she'll need a five door (four door in old money!).

I didn't know about the C4, I'm not car mad.

Personally, I'd go for a 2004 to 2005 Ford Fiesta Steel. I myself went from a Ford Mondeo 2.0 to a Mini (one of the old school ones) and the difference is incredible - but when I drive my sisters Fiesta it reminds me a lot of the Mondeo, has a bit of a big car feel to it.

So, she's looking to trade down to a 1.4 or 1.6 litre engine from a 1.8? At the current rates, that's a saving of a couple hundred euro. Hardly seems worth the effort unless she wanted to change anyway.
