Hi all.
Summer time last year I bought a 2009 Suzuki swift sport as I turned 40, needed a car for getting to/from the station and for getting to golf at weekends. I went with something a little sporty just so it was fun as well.
Fast forward 6-7 months and our landlord tells us he wants his house back (2 days before Xmas) so we're currently looking for somewhere else to live.
The house we like is down a road that the council claims isn't really public highway.... You know the type, barely any tarmac, big gravelly holes, pot holes etc anyway, my new car really doesn't cope well with the road and considering I'll be driving it twice a day I may have to consider changing it for something else.
I'm looking up to £3k, petrol (as it's short journies) , robust enough to cope with a bit of daily offroading . Anu suggestions?
I've found a couple of Suzuki grand Vitara 1.6 petrols that would probably do a job, but £330 car tax is a tough pill to swallow....... Ford Fusion is another possible alternative ) especially as they have heated front screen for winter).... But very inspiring.
