Want a new car, what one to get!?
Okay so basically i want a new car but i'm extremely clueless when it comes to them. I'm 21 and I currently have a 07 plate Peugeot 207 in black but i'm quite frankly bored of this and want a new one.
Can any recommend me what car to get? I'm pretty easy, i just want a decent car that looks nice to! Price range around 3.5 - 5k and ideally i want a car newer than 08.
Thanks
:D:)

Sporty, sensible, plain, flashy?
engine size?
theres a lot of factors to consider and each person is different im afraid......
Don't mind when it comes to petrol/diesel.
My current engine size is 1.4. Don't want like a plain sensible car, would prefer more of a sporty one, but not one of those chavvy sport cars.
Very good car and excellent choice.
If you don't want plain and sensible and want something a bit sporty I'd go for a Mini or maybe an Alfa Mito
I think a 21-year-old might have some difficulty getting insurance for one of those!
A common myth.
If you can find one of those on a "newer than 08 plate" for £3,500-£5,000.00 can you buy me about a dozen please???
If you want a small car, then go for a Toyota Yaris.
Decent car that might still have some warranty left as they have five year warranties, although you probably won't need it as Toyota's are so reliable.
Another one to consider is the Skoda Fabia.
I'm pretty sure those warranties only apply to the original owner, but I could be wrong.
My fiat warranty is still in effect on my 11' plate 500 and I bought it from fiat dealership after they bought it back from a motability user who sadly could no longer drive.
No, definitely not. And unlike other makes, you don't need re-register the Toyota warranty - it travels with the car. The registration number tells the garage that it's under warranty, and whether it's a 3 or 5 year one.
Though I think the 5 year one started summer 2010.
Ther Mk1 Yaris was a very good car, and there are ones around with about 200,000 on the clock.
mk1 Ford ka is old tech and average in many ways, but they appear to be quick(ish) and are more fun to drive. Think go cart for the road.
Absolutely no better or worse than most other cars on the market.
At 3k a Golf is the last car I'd buy. Residuals far too strong for the quality of the vehicle.
That only applies to Vauxhall's lifetime warranty (and, I believe, to Renault's 4-year package).
The other manufacturers who offer long warranties (Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, Fiat, Toyota, Subaru and Chrysler) all transfer to subsequent owners.
Its an age old problem.
Indeed.
The problem being that VW cars don't last any longer than a typical Vauxhall or Ford, unlike most of the others in this category.
The sweet spot IMO lies with some of the Japanese companies whose cars don't command much of a premium, but nonetheless tend to last well. I'm thinking mainly Honda, Toyota and Mitsubishi here.
