My pickup will go and the small car will be instead of that, don't really need a pickup to be honest !
It would be much better to go to the local school but all his current year group at school are going to the other one and as he has adhd and the further away school has a better provision for that we would rather he went there !Ah right oh.
Petrol or diesel. Personally hate diesels especially small ones so if it was me probably a petrol fiesta or focus. Something that has good availability for the odd part that falls off etc.
School run is a pain mind. You sure he cant go to the local school?
I've got a 2007 Ford Fiesta, 1.4 diesel.
I paid £1700 for it nearly five years ago. It averages about 60mpg, and I measured 72mpg over the journey home from Edinburgh back in the summer.
Road tax is £30, and the MOT is I think the most expensive thing each year at £45.
Engine oil filters are about £6 every three or four months, and the oil comes straight from the same barrel as the tractors!
I use it as much as I can rather than the Ranger pick-up, and I reckon it saves me at least £2000 a year in fuel over the 20k-ish miles it does each year.
I wouldn't like to guess what it's saved me on tyres and servicing etc on the Ranger.
the 150PD TDi was even better did 96,000 miles in one.Golf tdi, you cant go wrong with the 130hp 1.9 pd engine.
The 2l engine can be a right heap of sh1t

Help please, theres a chance we may have to start doing the school run when the eldest changes school this year, as there is a good chance we won't be able to get school transport as our chosen middle school is not in the catchment area and all of his class who live slightly closer are going to go there and we feel sending him to a different school is a not good ! Anyhow if we do have to take him what small cheap economical car would be good ? Something around the £1500 bracket if possible ? Corsa ? Or any suggestions !
