Need a bit of guidance and ideas…

Just started looking for an other car for SWMBO . She wants something a bit sporty but 4 seats and not boring to look at.

It must have less than 10,000 miles on the clock.

It must be Red.

Budget is £10000

She has spotted this and wants to go and look at it…….

Peugeot 407 Coupe 2.2 SE 2006 with 9800 miles

Cost approx £9000

Any things to watch out for or thoughts on it

Fabia vRS? nice and pokey, good fuel economy, 4 seats and 4 doors plus a boot....

Cheers
Andy

ooh, peugeot? really?
form any that i've driven have always felt really heavy, underpowered, and been rotten to drive i think. 407 looks heavy

If it's gotta be red, it has to be a Ferrari.

Stick an extra nought on your budget and you could get the four seater 612 Scaglietti.

Personally, I'd sacrifice the +2 seats for a Ferrari that's less practical

Evo? Okay, I know. But you didn't say it had to be cheap to run...

Fabia would be good, with economy and tuneability.

Or a Leon FR - a bit more room, but with excellent handling.

Another vote for the Leon here.

Can pick up some real bargains at the minute.

Just bought this for her indoors.
She loves it !
Common as muck but good fun to drive, when she lets me have a go !
Its the supercharged Cooper S, goes like stink.
A bit small in the back seats, but who cares when your in the driving seat.

Bit of a marmite car, but it grows on you

and then you can get this one as well to match the red colour

I've such a love for the original mini i've sworn in the past i'd never like the new one. But now there coming down to sensible money. They are growing on me (a lot) good choice

Id steer clear from the 407's they ahve alsorts of troubles electrical etc.

Id go for Leon, Mini cooper/s, civis type r.
