Pick my son a car

He can have my Transit c/w canister of Fabreeze, lightly used.

The Transit… not the Fabreeze.

£7000+ for reasonable mileage so that’s out.

Clubman: he doesn’t like the suicide doors, but a 2010 on is cheap to insure.
V50: it looks like a hearse, apparently.

Yes, it needs a national trust sticker on the window too, but it’s quick, seat goes back miles for leg room and has a turbo :ok_hand:
Sleeper ftw

Well that one is no good as it’s an auto. Only looked at the basic ones.

What about the outback then? Somehow lost 23000 miles on an mot and has the worst mot history ever for faults

The websites don’t like quoting anything over 15 years old. A later Legacy wasn’t that bad insurance wise.

IIRC, the seats in the Avensis were a bit high. You might need to check that, as I (1m82) couldn`t sit properly in one, even with the seat in the lowest position. But the Avensis is an excellent car, for good reasons.
You also might want to check for passive safety, like five star rating on euroncap.com.

That sounds like a bad car, or didn’t I read that correctly?
Afaik is Subaru the brand that has the least failures of all cars up to ten years old, so a very reliable car?

It’s a terrible car, I was being unhelpful :laughing:

Todays grandad special that’s ok to insure.

thats a lot of car - surprised it’s insurable. How thirsty are those 1.8Tsi engines though?

Says 40mpg average which is ok.

Basically my son will start driving to school which my wife currently does in the electric car.

I’ll use the electric car to commute instead of the Lexus.

So 40mpg vs 25mpg is still a win.
