Recommend my wife a car - 04/08/2018 10:39
My wife’s only been driving a few years and we’re looking to get her something a bit more modern. She currently has a 2000 Renault Clio and, whilst it’s served her well as a first car, she wants something with a few more creature comforts.
It needs to be 5 door, as we have a toddler to get in his car seat, but she doesn’t want anything bigger than a hatchback. Ideally, she’d go for a small hatchback (think Clio, Fiesta) rather than a family sized one (Focus, Golf, etc.)
Toys-wise she certainly wants decent aircon, bluetooth and assistance with parking (ideally a camera, but parking sensors are probably more realistic with this type of car).
I’m not really sure whether buying (on finance) or leasing would be better for us. She does very little mileage (less than 6k miles in the three years she’s owned the Clio) but does need to have access to a car all the time.
Does anyone have any recommendations in this category?
