Didn't expect a 1.6 in this, anyone know more about them?

1.6 should he handy enough in a car that size. Absolutely bread and butter motoring, very little to go wrong on them. If its tidy and presentable, it's good bangernomics.

NCT a bit tight though.

I'm trying to help my girlfriend's sister find a suitable car for bangernomics budget.
Would love some suggestions on a make/model.
Looking for something in and around Dublin area.

Looking for hatchback, something like a fiesta or Clio. Have been browsing DoneDeal but haven't found a huge amount.

What do you think if this?
https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/ford-fiesta-2008-zetec-1-2-l-nct-full-history/24618334

Ford fiesta 2008 hands down, I have the zetec steel 2 model - 260,000 km as we speak. Does 3,700 km per month, mostly motorway driving.

Spacious boot for its size, two ikea Kallax shelfs fits inside the car when you put the seat down, and I used it to carry boxes of tiles as well.

Pretty reliable car never let me down always brought me from A to B.

Cons -
Make sure the coolant tank doesn't have any signs of cracks on them.
Gears quite stiff at times.
Very noisy inside when driven on the motorway. At some stage I was thinking of buying an ear protection.
Not comfortable.

That c180 won't pass the NCT with the abs warning I think it's a straight fail
Nice car though

They’re very similar to a Hyundai Elantra mechanically and are on the same platform. Probably the same drivetrain as the Coupe too.

They had a belter of a 1.5 diesel when they came out here around 05.

They are old school Kia/Hyundai though so pretty plasticky inside and not exactly a drivers car. Much more pleasant than an Elantra though.

Not a sport, which is a pity, but it looks a lovely example.

He's looking for enough for it!
I see he is also selling a set of Audi Sports wheels and I wouldn't be mad on the ones he has on the Avant
Wonder did it come with a set of sports wheels on it and he's trying to maximise profit

I'd definitely be interested in this if the tax wasn't so high. Pity.

What would the fuel economy bee like?

Yeah, its pricey enough - but if its clean I'd say its worth a look. IMO the sport wheels alone would transform it altogether. I think the wheels on it now are off a new-ish A3, they do it no justice. Rear spoiler and trim pieces for the bottom of the doors would be easily and cheap enough additions too, if you were so inclined.

So hard to find a clean sport these days, for any amount of money! At least the above car has the right engine anyway.

Not as good as the older 1.9's
I drove a 2 litre for 2 years after having 4 of the older model
I averaged 45mpg (about 6.3 l/100kms) with mine no matter how easy I drove it
Also, normally an automatic car will be slightly harder on fuel than a manual

That one is very expensive at that price
I sold my 2006 model last year and really struggled to get 1000 euros for it and 2007 models were selling for maybe 1500 at the time, so you'll probably pick them up for around 1000 - 1200 Euros this year

Nearly If he drops the price to 1k maybe

Because that's what they are worth.

Maybe a little more than that, but no more than 1.5k asking

I hate when they don't take pictures of the interior. You will be seeing this a lot more than the exterior. Even just one picture will do

I'd be interested in this, they are well equipped things. The big issue is that the DPF has to be changed, yes replaced, in about 9k miles according to the official service intervals :eek:

EDIT: Not to mention the clutch will be needed soon, along with the timing belt/water pump.

Have you seen the car, or just assumed things need to be changed based on the mileage?

Why would the clutch need to be changed?

At bangeromics end of market you don't really buy to spend. You buy to drive.

Well its reasonable to expect the clutch to be near enough the end. The dpf/timing/pump are purely going by service interval mileage.

True, but you only drive until you need to fix

Mondeo's are one of the nicer cars to drive as well. Really responsive and good fee from them.
I have one and probably the most reliable car i ever had.

You have no clue of the clutch condition until you drive the car, and even then it is hard to tell.

Clutch is not replaced at intervals. When it's gone it's gone.

You don't worry about those with bangeromics.

Never had to replace clutch meself and drove quite a few bangers

If you are worried about having to replace parts you are looking in the wrong thread

I am normally worried about replacing the whole car tbh
