I'm sure this will receive a lot of input, so here goes...
I'm starting the lookout for a car again after 5 years without one, had to scrap my old Fiesta in 2009 cos it was falling apart and costing too much to run, I also had no solid income either.
I'm trying to save up to a couple of grand and am pretty much halfway there. I would like something reliable (key factor) and pretty cheap to run. German and Japanese cars apparently are the most reliable, any models I should be looking at? Golf or Polo perhaps?
Also should I go for diesel? And what litre engines hack motorway driving the best? As I will be driving on dual carriageways quite often.
