Toyota corolla 5 door liftback.

1292 cc, does it all, i should know, ive had mine since 2001 and its till as good as it ever was.
Had an urq engine in the back of it, heavy snap on tool boxes, you name it.
Just keeps going.
Even Kully admired it at the one meeting and parked his bentley next to it.

(well maybe not).

So you have to drive round a corner whilst holding it in gear ?! Nice

hmm! more i'd forgotten about, to think about. forgot about the polos! A2 looks very good/idea and it'll be good for many years to come maybe (every winter). no timing belt on a yaris!? didn't know that, my little bro has one and swears by it! toyotas have been mentioned to me by lots of folks that have been running them for years. will get searching, two months of turbo tax left, so better get something soon

i doooo like the look of the wee A2s, not cheap though! but nice.

Why small?

Just get an 80tdi avant for £500 and revel in 50mpg and comfort, then sell it afterwards.

Had mine since march and love it. Only done an oil change and rear brake pads in 5000 miles.
