She has £3,500 for a new car, but it would be nice to keep some of that if possible.

she wants one of the below cars, preferably 1.2 though a 1.4 will probably be ok.

Renault clio 1.2 - facelift version
Corca C 1.2
Fiesta 1.2

could she get a reasonable model for that, and what

what are people reasons for the clio over the corsa amd fiesta.

tbh i dont think she will get a good fiesta for that money, though i have seen a few corsa sxi's go for that money

The Clio's are nice

Not a great fan on the Corsa C's although a sxi would be pretty cool

yes but its not a race car, its only a 1.2.
the clio may have better handling but the corsa must be fairly good aswell.

the blio is a nice car to look at, its just alot smaller inside

Driving a 1.2 Corsa C is like porridge very bland and youhave tomake the best of what you got right?

At the end of the day its up to her right? Let her drive each one and decide?

shes not really bothered about it being a sporty model, however if she saw a sxi is it worth getting over another model, or is it just a case of some silver pieces and different wheels.

she will be making subtle mods like changeing to tinted lights, possibly changeing wheels depending on what it comes with.

is was told the corsa is slightly more nippier than the clio aswell.
