• On that note. Does anyone have any suggestions outside the following:

    • golf
    • polo
    • fabia (probably too small)

    Criteria:

    • 5yrs old/not too high mileage
    • reliable
    • petrol (sensible engine co2, etc. for parking permit price, tax, etc.)
    • auto
    • 4 doors
    • reasonable boot for an elderly couple
    • not too big to park in London
  • The answer is always Jazz..

    If the question is “Recommend a car where someone will almost certainly steal the catalytic converter and effectively write the car off?”, unfortunately

  • I'll suggest it, but as they do regular very long journeys I think they'll want something with a bit more motorway sound deadening/etc.

    This is why it's hard to beat the Golf in this category I guess. It's just a great balance of size, comfort, etc.
