Newer shape are allright to be fair. We used the old shape as response cars and they are pretty cak to be honest. I'm punting round in a 60 plate old shape at work at the moment - and it's pants.

We use Hyundai i30s now as patrol cars. Much better than astras in my opinion - depends on your budget I guess. There are better out there though.

tcb 180 will become famous soon enough
Small petrols can be just as frugal as diesels these days and go for a small engined turbo petrol and you get the best of both worlds.

First of the new, must be a 5 door. Ideally 1.6 petrol. Maybe Sri or Sri XP?

She quite likes these but a tad over budget.

She's not keen on any of those, for her budget she'd only be going a couple of years newer than what's she's in now.

Factor the cost of personal plates in and age doesn't matter as much, most people just see a better make of car in your drive.
