Cars!!!!!
Ok this is a serious thread. I bought my partner a Renault Clio in June and she loves it so much its scary!!!! But my problem is that she has looked at cars of the same kind of size in OZ and she hates them! I know that Asian cars rule and understand why but does anyone know if there are similar cars to say the Clio readily available out there! (this question is for her because i dont give a dam what i drive!)

She asks very little of me (which is bloody lucky) and she works long hours in the hospitality trade so her pay is sh*te so i think she deserves it!!!

Nobody deserves a Renault, not even for the most heinous crime.

Re: Cars!!!!!
Aren't there any other cars (a bit bigger) that
she does like
. Maybe she can look in that range and
than buy a car that is still ok but a little bit older. Make
it out to be something of an adventure (ok she won't
believe you
but I know I would like and appreciate
the effort if my guy was trying to lift my spirits that way
)
good luck!!

I did look but couldn't find any! Looked on the Auto trader equivalent. I also know that European car parts are so much more expensive over there!
