If you can pick up something that has 4x4 it will help you enormously over the winter months

Why? That is so fcuking stupid!

If he wants a winter car then he needs something cheap, reliable and cheap running costs.

4x4 = not cheap to run.

A S2 Rallye defeats the object, you want a runabout not another hot hatch.

But who the fcuk am I to talk

Why? Because if shitty weather entails snow and ice, I know I'd rather have something with power going to all four wheels. And if you actually have a look, you can find 4x4s cheaper to buy than some fwd banger. The difference in fuel costs isn't going to be much, and as for insurance, if you're thinking about a 2nd car then you've got to expect to pay out for a new poilicy with 0 years NCD so its gonna be a lot even if you've got a 750cc Panda.

Up to you at the end of the day, a 2nd car is great to have all year round, I just know, especially around here in the hills of Yorkshire, I'd go with 4x4

We dont get enough snow in this country to warrant a 4 wheel drive.

Please log off the internet and do your home work.

I would hazard a guess that it would be unreliable with it being a Peugeot

If your getting a 2nd car should stick to something that isn't a hot hatch. What about a diesel of some sort?

"We dont get enough snow in this country to warrant a 4 wheel drive."

Maybe not in Nottingham. Its not just snow, up here we have lots of roads that are a low priority to get gritted. If we don't warrent 4x4 then I'll just fire off an email to Land Rover and tell them they've wasted their time.
