Hi. Have £3000 to spend on a reliable run around car. Want it to be a small engine so cheap for fuel n tax. Will be used to shuttle to work n back (40 miles round trip) down the motorway n little else. What car n engine size wud you ABers recommend? Thank u.
If you're not worried about passenger space behind you then pretty much all small cars will have ample space for somebody over 6foot, I'm 6"6' and have comfortably driven KAs, micras, twingos, 107s etc etc.
I don't know why I'm asking this ... I wouldn't know a head gasket from a Mars bar.
But ... I did have one blow (they told me).
My car had to be taken to some place in the wilds of the frozen north (Baldock??) to have a new engine, and it cost me £3,500 - which is probably more than the car's worth now!
The K series was a definite move by rover to try and step away from their Honda reliance and produce their own engine and was designed and built in Birmingham (it's up near Scotland somewhere...) you may be getting confused as a lot of rover cars were available with either the K series or a Honda engine.
Come along children, no bickering! Ka or Corsa seem to b coming tops. Cud pay more but can't c the point. No probs with the hair joggerjayne as keep it trimmed, it's just the flies in the teeth from grinning when I drove was the biggest problem!
