@joey101 Realistically what 19 wants to drive an Aygo, most want the likes of an Audi, a Golf, a BMW, etc
A mk5 golf is generally cheaper to insure in petrol and they’re are generally cheaper to purchase instead of a diesel, although most young lads would prefer a 1.6tdi over a 1.4 thanks to the nicer drive and more power. assuming he got a diesel one and the dpf did give trouble, you’d get it gutted and mapped out, simple as, and no more issues with it, ever.
Yes, a small jap car might be more sensible, but let’s be realistic, he’s 19 surely he’d want something cooler even if it did cost a small bit more.
