I've now decided to look for a winter hack to commute in through the worst of the winter weather so I can leave the SL snuggled in the garage.
So I'm looking for something cheap and frugal, something that I wont have to spend every weekend fixing things on to prepare for the following weeks commute.
Looked at smart cars but I'm not so sure they represent good value having looked at other things in the same price range (I like the look of them though). I'm also not sure I could bear driving a Corsa (wrong image) but a 2CV would be acceptable.
I'm really not sure what makes best bangernomic sense. Should one but something like an old diesel Mondeo which are almost worthless or is a little 1.0L hatchback a better budget buy? Perhaps an old MX5... what mpg do they do I wonder? Hell I've even been toying with the idea of getting a 400cc scooter (Burgman).
Perhaps I'm better buying a new £5999 Panda for £99 per month. Seems like cheap motoring... possibly cheaper than bangernomics even.
So what does the consensus say and does anyone know of a car for sale that might fit my purpose?
