What Car? says
For It's cheap, well equipped and some are still covered by the five-year warranty
Against It has old-school looks, mediocre refinement, weak handling and modest space
Verdict
It's very cheap, but most rivals are better to drive and more spacious
Go for… GSi cars
Avoid… None
- 1. Meticulously maintained, immaculate cars shouldn't be too hard to find. If the car's in merely average nick, keep looking
- 2. Avoid cars with uneven tyre wear and those that don't drive straight, as the suspension could be damaged
- 3. Check the air-con blows cold - it's potentially expensive to fix if it doesn't
- 4. Ensure the engine runs smoothly and is free from knocking noises
- 5. Boot space isn't great by class standards - many rivals are better
