OK, you've got £10k to buy a new car, what would you buy ...

[StreetBoy]

Thought long and hard... no, I'd rather put 10k in an Icelandic bank.

[xerif]

Don't forget delivery charges...looking at carquake at a FIAT 500 the charges were over £400! Sounds as if Ryanair pricing is now alive and well in some places.

I need an auto and having tried a few of the semi-autos I want a trad auto which leaves only one car in this price range. The Myvi!



Only £7K all in for what is effectively a YAris. (or £5k with the scrappage deal). Now if someone could point to another auto under £10K (not a semi)...

[StreetBoy]

Wouldn't you rather have a secondhand Focus auto or something than a new piece of junk?

It's 100% reliable, 3 year warranty. same performance/economy as a 3 year old Focus...

I wouldnt buy a new car, simple as that. I dont reckon much to paying for something that will be worth about 2k less by driving it off the forecort, round the block and back again.

I think you all need to acknowledge that the Jazz is better looking than the Fiesta.

If I was forced at gunpoint to spend £10k on a new car it would be some flavour of Fiat 500 (how do you find the absolute list prices of cars, anyway?!).

Are you nuts... you actually think the jazz is better looking than the fiesta!

Can i ask how old you are??

[heron8888]

Apart from the name I think the Kia ceed is one of the best value cars, 8995

[garythesnail]

I think I'd be looking at Fiat's range. Depends what you want I suppose. 500 is funky, Panda is practical.

Other models fall under or come very close to the 10k limit with current Fiat UK offers too.

Definitely worth a look.

Don't like the Fiesta's light units; don't like the silly mock air intake thing in the oversized spoiler; don't like the general lack of glazing.

[STEVEN_NORFIELD]

Piece of cake: Panda 100bhp A proper little pocket rocket for those in the know

That would blow the budget at £13k-14k.

Code VTS with the heated leather... 200 miles on the clock 9,980. There a pretty good car to drive too, the one i tested impressed, just not that fast.

You can get VTS virtually brand new for less than 10k. Pands looks like a decent package, but the VTS has more street cred.

[Deano]

fiat 500 1.2 sport .... about 9700



toyota IQ ..... about 9450



or as something different... nissan cube no available in uk and cheap as hell well below 10k
