Basically, come Setpember i'm gonna be doing over 500 miles a week so i'm looking for a super cheap car on fuel. Between the Focus 1.8D and the Saxo 1.1 there is not much in it  So, i'm considering a Smart 600cc  Anyone know what they are like in terms of fuel, what speed you can get out of them and 0 - 60 speeds if they go that fast  Will be spending 75% of the time on motorways.
Other choice is a 1.2 16v Clio (75BHP). Seen an 05 plate one i fancy in black fp £5995. Managed to get the garage to give me £4750 for the Paxo and i take away the Tax. Body work is shite on the Paxo and it's really gonna get me down in the summer is i keep it. It's just shitron for you, C3 is even worse

Some sort of TDi will be sufficient for your needs...DO NOT get a smart car if your doing that much motorway driving...
Lupo TDI....

but got a lot of torque bottom end for a low insurance group car. my 306 is pretty responsive so i would imagine the newer Golf TDi's etc will be better and more refinened than mine.
Although Pug Nut you are a twat really arent you?

I got the saxo for £4200 so i'm making money  Plus i've still got the money off the Focus when it went missing which i'm saving for when i buy a house after i finish uni along with some money my Nan left me when she died. I have no responsibilities and all the bills are paid so why shouldn't i spend the money i've hard worked for.
Clio is not new btw, it's been registered to the garage so and has delivery mileage

500 miles per week = diesel.
Another Focus or a Golf or an Astra or anything that size 6 months old is cheap enough.
What do you want.
