I have just had a nightmare situation. I went out and bought a Vauxhall Vectra 2.0DI. 3 weeks later the diesel pump has gone and the car is on its way to the scrapyard. In four weeks time I will have £500 again to purchase a family car. I used to have Toyota Carina that was OK, but cost quiet a bit to get right. I have used your website to try find a car with 5 stars, finding the Peugeot 205 as probably the best small car. What old family car would you rate best, either diesel or petrol? I’m quiet put off by diesel after my last experience. I am only getting a £60 for it as scrap. Any advice would be appreciated.
