You won't make her happy (Long Term) with anything French that has 4 wheels so forget this idea its a bad one.

The Yaris is bombproof but has a very, very basic interior.
A FiFi should be your first port of call.

Simply ask her what colour she wants then find a non french car painted in this colour, for extra point buy her some clothing with hints of the same colour to allow her to accessorise with her new car choice.
So basically i'm saying Fiesta, neckless, shoes and a scarf.

I'm going to +1 the Yaris suggestion. I'd personally take one over the Fiesta, solid little cars. I doubt there's much in it though. The 1.3 is pretty pokey and not too bad on fuel.
at some of the comments!Problem with the 1.7i is she has 3 fault accidents in the last 3 years
So its probably going to be a bit more than her current Ka. I'll get searching for a brass coloured Fiesta
Cheaper accessories!

My blokes sense is not brought into this reply!
I suggest a 1.6 Beetle, they can be had now for ~4k, i'm assuming her car is worth 1.5k?
Reliably - no comment
MPG - 35ish?
The only real issue would be it would be as old as her current car

Makes me laugh when you see some idiot driving around in a left hooker, simply because they couldn't wait till it came out in the uk, these fools are now stuck with a car worth about 20p.

Very good girly suggestion! Might be right down her street actually.
She likes the Fiesta though so thats good!

Three faults in three years... oh dear.
Pehaps some extra driving lessons?

Just waiting till I can safely start to criticise her driving without getting dumped!

This is a car for a girl thread. This sort of stuff doesn't matter.
All that matters in a car for a girl thread is how it looks.
I would agree with you, but I can't be seen doing so I'm kind of stuck.

Just take her to a few random dealers, there will be a selection of cars she thinks are cute and then pick the best one out of those. Of course she's likely to go for the most ridiculously rubbish cars just because they look good and you'll have to make the best of a bad bunch.

ford puma? i think it's a girly car.. and that's all it matters for them any way..
I think this will be the way forward, going to try and find a local Fiesta at a garage so I can take her along, aswell as a Puma although they seem to be mostly Private so I'd just have to find one of those out and about.
Yeah I can see her loving the look of these, Im just worried a little about her insurance, she doesn't really want it to go up any from her current premium which had 10 months remaining. I can't see a 1.25 or 1.4 Zetec Fiesta making much of an impact.

My other half
brought a 1997 silver z3 and she loves it has been looked after and is fairly practical for a convertible ( we did look at pumas and mx 5's as well )
