WTD: Suzuki Cappuccino or Honda Beat

[Kieran]

The recent debacle with Ariadne has really brought home how much we depend on our car and how stuffed we are when it's out of service.

To that end, we have agreed to bring forward the plans to purchase a runabout car for Alex. To be honest, it will probably spend most of it's time sat in our garage keeping Pap-Pap company, but that's by the by.

So... If anyone knows where there's a cheap Honda Beat or Suzuki Cappuccino, please let us know. Doesn't matter if it's a bit tatty. Ideally Sub-£1000 would be good.

By the way. We will consider any car, as long as it's a Honda Beat or a Suzuki Cappuccino.

The capuccino I think you'll be struggling for under £1K, they're like gold dust..

Don't know about the hond beat...

Nice choices for a little car Kieran They're both full of character.

Why on God's green earth would anyone buy a car named after a warm drink??

Next think you'll see is a Mitsubishi Horlicks!!!

Careful what you say - I might pay you a visit next week

You'll be hard pushed to find one of these cars for less than £1k - what about a Mk 1 MR2 - relatively plentiful (means more parts available and more upgrading potential ), cheap and ok slightly higher running costs, but more dynamic/faster and you can get a T-Bar in lieu of a cabrio - also a modern classic

Too big for Alex. It'll be her car at the end of the day, so must make sure she's happy with it. Never particularly liked the Mk1 MR2 anyway.

Get a Copen on finance....

Seriously, I'd have the capu. Not sure you'll find it for 1k though...

[Paul Beazer]

Copen =

[WildCards]

A Faasand Paand (in Eastenders speak) - you'll be lucky.

In saying that, there are a couple of Capuccinos on ebay for a shade under £1K, Honda beats are like Rocking Horse Droppings though.

Good luck.

What about a nice little 306?

And cue the laughter as Kieran once again was forced to extract his foot from his mouth....

Irritated by the lack of Beats and Cappucinos knocking about (do these people not know who I am?!?!) I popped onto Ebay and had a nosey.... Alex saw what I was up to and had a quick nosey - she found them agreeable in looks at least.

So off I go to research that then....I honestly think they're a bit big and a liability for a novice driver, but then, the same could be said of my and my Legnum!!
