Mines my 5 or a citroen xsara picasso, as a family car its been amazing, 110000 miles only ever been serviced, cambelt, pads and tyres replaced also does 46mpg on a 1.6petrol around town, mpg crap on the motorway as it revs like a 5 at motorway speeds.
Pic wont work? wasnt really worth looking at anyway tbh

I have a 2004 ford fiesta as a tuition car, it's done 100k in the 4 years I have owned it, a good majority of that is tuition miles alsoapart from a clutch and timing belt all it's needed is servicing and brakes, and a new thermostat housing seal.
It's getting a bit long in the tooth now tho, and is being replaced in December with something on a 12 plate
The mrs has a 2006 fiat Grande punto and it's the biggest bag of **** car I have ever owned, it's done 43k and is falling apart, drivers door handle won't open from the inside, the power steering unit went, it's drop links more or less fell off last month, the oil breather hoses have been replaced twice with genuine fiat items that don't even last 3k.........utter utter shi, it's constantly throwing up fault codes, the passenger air bag won't turn back on after turning it off via the onboard computer. **** **** ****ty ****! Makes the five look well built
The mk6 fiesta is one of the best tuition cars out there....I have a 2004 ford fiesta as a tuition car, it's done 100k in the 4 years I have owned it, a good majority of that is tuition miles also

also price has dropped on these... and with the likes of scoff helping to develop Turbo Kits for them means you can have boosted Clios for a reasonible price... not like the K-Tec £6k kit!!Lots and lots of 172s, i think that shows alot of rtoc faith, when your daily is just a bigger newer 5
59 plate Merc C class c250- 52 mpg
You forgot 'better'
