Cheers for that Jim.
He's looking for something decent but not too flash on account of the fact that he's still only 25 so doesn't want to get clobbered with insurance. He seems to be leaning towards an Astra, Corsa, Focus (
) etc. - basically a tidy sized family car that will do the job for a good few years.
As far as the warranty goes, is it better to go with where you buy it from or take out a separate one? I'm assuming the best route is something that covers everything rather than a cheaper option where they point to the small print if you actually try claiming?
