Could anyone suggest a decent small car for a lady of 5ft. Who has only been driving for nearly a year, so not too powerful.
She currently has a rover 100, so any car around that size would be great.
Also it would be a added bonus if the car was able to come with, Central Locking, CD Player, Electric Windows and a sunroof.
Thanks!
Jay

Buy Japanese, it will be better all the time... Not! No car is fully anything. That means that no car is fully designed, developed, parts manufactured, and put together in one area. Just so you all know, Honda and Toyota both have plants for their cars in the states. And besides, when talking about "Japanese" cars, why doesn't anyone mention Nissan?
That being said. I would buy something that is cheap on gas, easy to maintain, and easy to drive. I would look at Saturns. They are very reliable, excellent on gas, and have the ability for many options. Other options include Volkswagen, Toyota, some Chevys, some Fords. But I would still think about the Saturn.

Go for a polo. They are fantastic. You may struggle on the extras as VW are a little tight but they make up for it in quality. Other than that peugeot 206/7. There is a new one just out. You can get a 24 hours test drive at peugeots main website or local dealership.

I own a Honda, and like it. However, after becoming aware of the Chevrolet Cavalier I have seen many with over 200,000 miles on them that I am impressed.
Almost all cars are good these days if they have been taken care of. On the other hand, any car can be bad if not taken care of.

My top rating goes to a Pontiac Sunfire. My first car and absolutely loved it. Also cars like Dodge Neon, Chevy Calalier, Chevy Cobalt, and Pontiac Grand AM/Prix.

A decent car is ANY small car (except a Mazda) made in JAPAN- by Japanese hands. Any other is an open question.

It of direction relies upon on the way you define less costly. yet, i might say the Honda greater healthful is likely considered one of the perfect autos available. that's not as less costly as a number of the different autos in its class, yet can nonetheless be had for purely $20,000. The Nissan Versa is a greater bare bones version of the comparable class motor vehicle and starts off below $10,000. As consistently, the genuine trick is approximately how lots you placed down, and then what interest cost you qualify for on the soundness. i exploit the Edmunds website as a great motor vehicle source.

I like Hondas. They are well made and fun to drive and all the Hondas I have owned so far have been fairly inexpensive to maintain. (The author of this posting received no compensation from Honda for this posting. Actual mileage may vary. Offer void where prohibited.) LOL
