The best used cars for students in 2016 - Daily Post North Wales
If you're on your way to university this year and need a cheap, reliable car the chances are you will be browsing the used car classified adverts for a bargain. From small hatchbacks to sportier coupes, there are a host of brilliant used cars that you can buy for between £1,000 and £10,000. We've rounded up five of the best used cars for students that will not break the bank. Suzuki Swift 1. 5 (2004-2010) The Swift Sport is a modern warm hatchback that we’re big fans of, but, while that may be too expensive for a cash-strapped student, the 1. 5-litre Swift GLX is within reach. The engine pumps out 101bhp so you can do the 0-62mph dash in 10sec and top speed can reach 115mph. The 106 Quiksilver had a 1. 4-litre engine with eight valves instead of the GTi’s 1. 6-litre 16-valve motor. The 75bhp Quiksilver did have some problems with driveshafts and rear axles so do inspect properly before purchase, but a good 2002 example with 78,000 miles could be yours for £1500. Mini Cooper (2001-2007) Depreciation has brought this... The roadholding was simply amazing, and you also had a 0-62mph time of 9. 1sec and a top speed of 124mph. Source: www.dailypost.co.uk
