I have a max of £2.000 to spend on a car but it’s pushing it, it has to be light on fuel, insurance and tax, I would like it to be less than 10 years old. It needs an immobiliser because apparently just found out today theft there is a clause in insurance for cars that don’t have one. Apparently you are not covered for theft; there is a limit on older cars. Ok back to the car choice.
So far I have thought about a Vauxhall Corsa 1,2 16v club or a different trim level (does this car have an immobiliser), I have seen an x reg for sale (bubble shape), A fiat punto mkI/II and a Ford Fiesta but not the one with the back to front lights, the one from v onwards.
It must have a sun roof too
Any more ideas and if you own a particular car can you give your own little review for me thanks. That’s if your car matches the area I am looking for as it’s no good someone reviewing a Porsche is it lol. Many thanks and looking forward to reading your reviews
Best Deal Ads :
I just bought a 2002 Mazda 323 with 38000 miles for £2,300
My son recently bought the same Corsa you mention for £2500 for a 2004 model with 43,000 miles
So shop around, the deals are there
try searching out Ford Focus’ in your area, good cars, cheap to run and insure, comes with thatcham immoboliser fitted, insurers prefered make.
try having a look at “Kia” they are cheap, low on petrol and car tax and insurance (If you get a small engine) failing that a matiz (previously daewoo now chevrolet) excellant little cars.
Hi
If you do look for a corsa try and get one with the four cylinder engine in they are less trouble .
2000 for a car why not look for one of the Japanese models they are good eg Honda civic Nissan micra . all these have very good reputations and they are cheap to keep and run and all have security fitted as standard don’t go for the Suzuki or the Subaru’s they are not so reliable .
Hope this helps
All new cars sold in the UK after 1997 had to have to have an immobiliser fitted by manufacturer. i.e. legal requirement.
Any car 1997 or after meets you immobiliser requirement.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
