Grandson needs a cheap car - any suggestions?
My grandson is looking at a 10 year old Renault clio 1.2 with full service history for about £1500. The mileage is under 60,000. Would this be a good buy. If not what would you recommend?

A 1999 - 2005 Yaris is generally best, followed by a Fiesta 1.25 or 1.4 (not a Fiesta 1.3). This Renault might be ok. Might be junk.
