My mother is looking to buy a small car ( Fiesta Size) in the near future.
She likes the fiestas.

She wants an automatic and would like to get into the £35 a year road Tax bracket.

Is there any small Petrol auto cars in this Tax bracket?

Is the Fiesta?

Is there a diesel Auto Fiesta?

Thanks for any help.

would not a polo be slightly better quality?

yes I've had fiesta's before and I was not very impressed, the words cheap and nasty spring to mind

A mate of mine has just bought an auto Perodua Myvi. Not a big name yet in this country, but it's basically a cheap Toyota Yaris, and has had good reviews.

Not really my cup of tea, but then I'd rather shoot myself in the knee than buy a Ford Fiesta. Might just suit your mum though.

have a look on u-tube at the crash tests and you'll soon see the models to stay away from

Hi I will be selling a Volkswagon Lupo 1.4 s automatic this w/end.
It will come with 1 full years mot 6 mths tax, It has 30000 mls on the clock and is very clean and reliable, has a new battery new radio/ cass, 5 very good tyres, It is on a 51 plate, reason for selling is partner retired an does not want to drive any more, she is looking for £3750, and believe me its well worth the money its a lovly car.

Ford Auto-gearboxes don't have a good reputation for longevity...

Peugeot 107 / Citroen C1 / Toyota Aygo are all small, have a clutchless manual / auto box and 4* Euro Ncap crash tests. And 61 MPG.

How about a Smart? very nice very small and surprisingly good.

How about an Audi A2 1.4 tdi comfy, good specs, £35 tax, 2year or 30,000 mile service intervals, not sure about the automatic bit, oh and there made of Aluminium! and return 65 mpg !!!!
