Well, yeah. Problems. Ok.

Paiktis seems to have the same opinion of French cars that I have now. My Peugeot 106, compared to other cars, feels very flimsy, although I haven't had too much of a problem with the price of parts, although they aren't as cheap as some.
I am looking for a Japanese car this time...my mother has had 2 Nissans and they have been as steady as a rock despite their age. Her 1987 Micra was more reliable than my 1997 106...
But the hunt is back on. I actually quite fancy the Almera, and I have seen a nice one at a garage for £5k (2000)...so I am going to check that one out

I honestly don't know what the prices are like over there, but I can definitely recommend Honda as a solid choice if you can afford one. They are reliable, get pretty good gas mileage, and are generally nice looking cars.
I have an Accord, and I love it.

Oh yeah, I'd definitely consider a Honda, just that I don't tend to see that many of them about, especially relatively cheaply. But if I see one, I will consider it.Speaking of Erith:

Toyota, Honda, or Nissan.
Is the Almera a Euro model? Over here Nissan has an Altima.
I have a 96 Sentra and am quite happy with it.Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.Comment

You North Americans tend to have much bigger cars so usually have completely different lines (eg, the Taurus that Lancer mentioned doesn't exist over here).Speaking of Erith:

Looking for a car that is powerful? go for Germans.
Looking for a car that is cost effective, and sturdy? go for Japanese.
Looking for a car that is a 4-wheeled humiliation? go for the Italians.
Look, it's WWII all over again!
( The statement above does not include Italian luxury cars, which make me climax vigorously just by looking on them on TV. )Comment

You cannot go too far wrong with an old golf. Usually good performance, great reliability, safe, bigger than you think inside, but can be a bit pricey if maintenance required.
For benchmarks on all cars for prices etc, try this great dealer site where some friends of mine have bought cars and been happy

an MGZS would be funSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
