I'm looking for a reliable little car.I was thinking maybe a toyota corolla.What other little cars are good little runarounds!It needs to be easy and cheap to get parts for, I'm still traumatised over the cost of repairing a European car.

Don't want to traumatise you again, but any chance of a quick run down on your euro problems and cost.

True, didn't think about that one whoops. The others should fit the bill though

Thanks for the suggestions. They are looking good!The european car causing the grief (I'm breaking out in a sweat just thinking about it) is a Volvo XC 70 diesel.We only have the one car in our family of 5, and it has been off the road more often than on it over the past few months.It has cost us nearly 6k in repairs ( mostly transmission problems) and its still not right.Hence the need for a reliable car.

Family of 5, might need a slightly bigger car than Corolla etc. What sort of running around do you do.

Did your Volvo come from Singapore!Also if its the same problem not fixed properly you have grounds under the GCA against the repairer to put it right at their cost.
