well i sold the 206 after 6 weeks of ownership, after deciding i didnt like it
Came out of that with a bit more money
was just too old for me, thought i could get away with a cheap diesel because i didnt really want a diesel car. felt like i was wasting money buying one
anyway...
looked at getting another 172, but thats following my heart. so going to try and stay sensible.
another diesel
need idea's on what to get.
category:
£2000
02 or newer
Turbo diesel, most non turbos are like slugs with asthma.
cheap tax band (£30)
im thinking a c2 Hdi, just to give you an idea on what sort.
any suggestions?

picky

Dont be silly, get another 172, makes sence, i regret selling my 182 almost a year ago, the 106 never really replaced it, i plan on getting another after xmas.
And they are sensible enough, insurance can be a bit steep, but driven right they will see 40mpg.

Being sensible rather than following my heart cost me about 4k in the space of two months.

looks really clean, and runs smooth.

Not really. Old as shit, non tubo, actually never driven anything so gutless.
Made money off it, just didn't like the car.
That's why I want something newer and turbo.

Hmm I would have said £2800 is way off and that £2200 is more like but if you look around you can find them from about £1800+ same year, similar miles etc.
I did look at them recently and weirdly they are cheaper now by quite a lot, I would still take the 1.5 dci 65 or 80 over the corsa, based on the fiat reliability but that's just me.
Just some examples
2004 Clio 1.5 dci 80
2003 Clio Dci 1.5 80
