James in Brum Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I don’t know really. I don’t feel particularly cross or anything. I think partly there is a little something to sort on the new bike which has gotten in the way of getting to know it and love it. Just the whole hassle since really. Insurance company have still not even offered a settlement. Stacking up to feel more hassle really. I think I will like my new bike but I loved my old one.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 9 hours ago, Stu said: avoid both! The KA's are a right rot box and the other is French shit The older Ka is certainly a rotbox. But the old C1 is pretty much the same car as the Toyota Aygo, and also the Peugeot 107. Our daughter ran a 2010 Aygo for 140k with very few problems. She got rid of it when the heater blower went and that means the whole dash has to come out. I was too busy at the time and she needed a car for work but a dealer took it part ex. If you want a reliable cheap small car try to find the older Toyota Yaris, particularly the Japanese built ones rather than the French built version. They can rot at the back end of the sills just in front of the rear wheel but it's repairable so long as it hasn't got too deep. Mechanicals are strong. For your budget you really won't get much as prices are silly at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
