I currently have a Mk5 (2008) Fiesta Zetec S Petrol. As it was the last of that shape, it came with goodies such as Bluetooth, Auto headlights/wipers and folding mirrors. I've had 2 and a half yrs reliable motoring from it and whilst the build quality is pretty suspect in places, its great fun to drive.
It will soon be time for a change though (probably March time next year), and i'm not sure what to get next. I don't need a big car, so a Fiesta size again is fine, but my shopping list is as follows:
The new motor will ideally:
- Be fairly fun to drive
- Be more economical on fuel and ideally cheaper to tax/insure
- Be as fast as my current car. If its faster, great.
- Be well built and well equipped
- Not have rock hard suspension
My history is pretty much all Ford, but i'm not averse to another marque. Don't see myself as a badge snob, but am doubtful that the likes of Proton and Perodua will have anything to suit. If you were me, what cars would make your shortlist?
Thanks in advance :?
