    Default New car wanted

    Ok well maybe wanted might be a better way of putting it,

    Circumstances dictate that we sell the house, that means I may be 40 miles away from work, don't want to use the 260 for that every day, so need a cheap runabout - probably an oil burner

    Any suggestions

    I recently bought a KA. It is fantastic I completely recommend it. I don't think you can own/run a cheaper car.

    Super cheap insurance, 45-50 MPG, parts are so so cheap. and there is no temptation to mod it.
