new car for mom
-
13-01-2010 8:10pm#1Hi Everyone,
Mother is looking to change her car. Unfortunately she's got a 2001 opel agila and I know nothing about cars:
We call it moon buggie or the box on wheels. I think she is just outside the scrappage deal but she needs to change the car now because its on the way out and the repairs would probably cost more than the thing is worth. I've been told to stick to Japanese cars. My mom liked that the agila had folding seats and a huge boot. She also liked that it drove like a van because she learned to drive in a ford transit with no power steering. She didn't like that it had no power what so ever for over taking.
I was just wondering what people thought was the best value small/mom car. She's liked the look of the following:
Nissan Micra
Honda Jazz
Mazda 2
New Ford Fiesta
Suzuki splash
Toyota yaris
Thanks for any help on this !0

The reason your Agila served you well is because.......it IS japanese ! It's merely a rebadged Suzuki Wagon-R.alias no.9 wrote: »There's a new model Agila which is very closely related to the Suzuki Splash. If the old one worked well for you, the new one is a lot more stylish on top of having similar driving position and practicality.
My sis-in-law bought a 6mth old one of those for.. in that colour.....for...8k ? Nice, good car imho. If you're mother does most driving alone, she'll love it - if she needs a bit more space, the Meriva is the one to go for, in the same family.
Other than that, +1 on the Panda.
I see ads for new Fabia 1.2 Estate's in Galway new this week, for ....12k..........Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
