Within the £30 tax bracket
Low insurance
Not too high mileage

Erm £62 it's a 50ish ltr tank you would easily get 600+miles from it. I went to oulton park in it last yr which for me is 530 miles rnd trip and still had a 3rd of a tank left

i was going to suggest the clio dci

beware of head gasket problems tho. its common.

dci 65, dci 80, dci 100.

80 is the pick of the bunch. the 100's fry their head gaskets too often.

dynamique is the model to go for.

i hope you get a good un.

I've got a 65 never had a problem with it never changed the oil until last month I've had to put a new fuel filter on it and that's it bar general things like tyres the 65 will do 105mph on the mway the 1.5 is £30 a yr to tax so cheapest of all

i had a dci 65 too mate.

i loved it. mine even had built in sat nav which is very rare for a 2001 dynamique!

65mpg when doing 70mph . not at 105 !

but i must say i found it a LITTLE sluggish. dci 80 wud have been nice.

which is what ive got my eyes open for, if i find a decent one.

To get into the £30 bracket it will have to be an 05 reg or newer.. Good luck finding something that isnt a total shit heap for that budget

i tihink the DCi 80 is actually £20 to tax.

the dci 65 is definitely £30.

i agree its not a fast car, but imagine your clio, giving you the same mpg figures (if not more) and having the extra 15bhp turbo punch.... it would be a lot more satisfying

it possibly was once £20, but the prices did go up by £10 per bracket.....
