I'm confused - which car?

Which car would you all go for that's a good first car, is cheap to run and isn't huge but has a boot big enough for two small dogs?

Corsa, Punto, Ka, Agila, Clio? I don't like the old style Micra though I know the engineering is good, so I'm told. I'm also told that the new Micra has Renault parts....or something.

Any ideas and opinions are welcomed! Thanks.

Well I've had my old 'P' Reg Punto for a good few years and it has been great. Larger boot space than most you have mentioned (definitely bigger than Ka) and it would easily fit two small dogs in (two GSPs at a push!).. and they come in lovely colours - I call mine 'Urine Sunset Yellowy-Green'! Don't know about the new ones though..

I've just got a Punto, its smashing and very roomy,I had three of my English Setters in the back, (with the seats down), its only a 1200 engine but it goes like the clappers.

Its got a brilliant cd player, electric windows etc., mines a 2003 model and a lovely shape

I've only had it for about 6 weeks and its brill

I love my Citroen C3

Ford Ka is great to run but the boot is tiny

if you can stretch to it a Ford Puma (1.4) is the business fantastic car to drive with very good bootspace - can you tell I my Puma

I had a Ka before I got the Picasso and I loved it, when Clive was talking me into getting the Punto (I wanted to downsize again), I was adamant that I wanted another Ka but, I have to admit, this Punto is more spacious and is even more nippy than the Ka. My Ka was an 02 and this is an 03 so there shouldn't be much difference in the technology, this just feels better...hope that makes sense

Have you tried the Ford Fiesta...........or the Honda Jazz.....the Jazz is small and nippy with fold flat rear seats.....the Fiesta s nice a nippy and with 3 or 5 doors enough room for a Stafford or two.

My sis has had the new micra for a few years with no probs, It also fits my three in with ease.

ooooh now... i had a ford ka and i loved her!


moe was soo nippy and despite the boot being tiny i could fit china in no probs but she could only just see out of the window due to the shape of the boot...

i miss moe
