    If you are buying a second hand (or for that matter, new) car then get it checked over by an independent mechanic - if you buy a lemon then expect to lose a small fortune on it!

    Look after a car and it will last you years. Drive the sh*te out of it and it might only last you a week.

    You can't just say I want a car with reliability for about two years.

    Reliability depends on many many variables.

    I would recommend the Fiesta but not that particular one. Not that one because it has the old 1.3 litre 8 valve engine rather than the better and newer 1.25 litre 16 valve version.

    My second choice would be the Clio.

    Go for the Clio ;)

    Safe..and nippy, despite what many people will claim they're also very reliable.

    I would go for the Clio.. It's the most stylish out of the three by a long shot.
    Also, I have one, and I love it!
