White spirit is greasy in itself, you just need an alcohol based glass cleaner.

 

Hi,

Interested in folks opinions on a new-ish car for us, probably 1 -2 years old though could be new for the right one.

Key points, small family or supermini 5 door hatch, Petrol and importantly, comfy with a good ride quality to help overcome the bad roads, we do not want anything thats firm and crashes over the bumps. See too many Audi owners weaving on the roads trying to avoid any bumps.

Though something like the Citroen C3 would seem ideal, sadly its got the infamous PureTech Timing Belt in Oil engine similar to the earlier Fiestas which can cause all sorts of very expensive problems.
That makes buying a secondhand one very risky as you have no real idea if its been properly looked after as oil changes and oil grades can be critical.

 

Thank you all, will have a go, FC i will have to look for something the same as i don't buy online

 

When you have a shortlist @ricky101, go to What Car and have a look at their review videos. They seem fair and unbiased. Would a VW suit you like a Polo, Golf or one off their crossover models?
