I will soon need a decent run around as the zed is coming off the road for a little while:

 

Need something economcal on fuel upto 1k

 

what would you guys go for?

K11 Micra all day long most reliable thing you will ever own

maybe so lol still wouldnt be seen dead in one lol

1k will get you pretty much most prefix number plated cars (pre 2001), and quite a few 51 onwards cars too.

 

I'd go as modern as you can and probably german

 

VW Golf Mk4, VW Passat B5/5.5, Bmw E36 3series (some e46 3series), Bmw E39 5series, Audi A3, Audi A4

 

Plenty of non-german options though, but they are inferior - Ford Focus, Mondeo, Peugeot 207, 406, Renault Laguna, Nissan Almera, Primera, Honda Accord ..etc

 

Alfa 156...oh wait, you said reliable...

 

Diesels tend to be more expensive, with less of them under 1k, even older models...but you can get VAG TDI's for around 1k
