We hope you’ll forgive us for sounding all Victor Meldrew when we say, ‘motoring is getting expensive these days’. However, cloth cap, beige raincoat and pained expression aside, with the credit crunch and cost of living crisis biting hard into our automotive budgets, we’re sorry to say it’s true. Hence why we’re here to share our expertise, demonstrate how to do the necessary car repairs/maintenance yourself and help you save a pot of money in the process.
We feel duty-bound in this respect therefore to highlight what’s possibly the most sensible used car choice out there right now for those in search of a budget, no fuss city car to accommodate the whole family – the Mk1 Hyundai ix20. We make no apologies for the fact it’s not very exciting to look at (which maybe explains why it’s so often overlooked) but in terms of space, reliability and low running costs it’s a got an awful lot going for it.
