I am mostly from /g/ not really an /o/
but I am trying, I fixed some basic shit on 17 year old skoda fabia that ive been driving so far
and its been holding relatively great, but driven less than 10 000km in the past 2 years
>cheap and relatively simple maintainability and reliability
>New car
Pick one and only one

Just get the one with the best warranty 2bh.
If I was you, I'd get something rad though.

why not aygo ? cheapest one and ive heard they are reliable and the engines are really fun
Fiat Tipo my man.
buy Dacia - not even kidding
>>17813995
Tipos are nice, but some parts can be expensive and obtainable only through official service stations - i.e. brake pads
I literally just this weekend started looking around
just noticed toytoa auris, which is a hatchbag
should give more trunk space than corolla
I work as kinda pctech / wannabe sysadmin
and occasionally lot of stuff needs transporting, like 4 huge spools of ethernet cables... auris could help there
boss drives Fiat Doblo for that, but it seems he will be moving 200km away and I lose that possibility, damn but these types of cars like doblo are either fiat or expensive

gives feel its too small
>>17813997
the prices are excellent and I see them on the road a lot
but wont I get fucked in few years on repairs or something?
>living in the literal vestibule of hell
>buying new
Why?
Why not let someone else take the depreciation hit and buy a near-mint 3-5 year old car?

I've seen a fair number of reviews floating around by people that had engine failures within 30k kilometers.
Just get a toyota man. You won't be able to do anything but change the tires, but all their models for the european market are incredibly reliable.

Because here people dont really sell after those 3-5 years
or not enough of people, so all cars being sold for after 2012 are overpriced IMO
they put 150 000 km on that and they ask for 8000€ for some toyota, honda or volkswagen... and for tiny bit extra you got brand new car with warranty, in lower tier of course, but new car...
this is kinda our craiglist if you wanna have a look at the prices and milage on those fucks

Here's your car list senpai :
>Skoda Rapid / Seat Toledo 1.0 TSI - lots of taxi drivers have Rapids/Toledoes with the 1.2 TSI engine so yeah it should be reliable.
>Dacia Logan and/or Sandero - really the best value of the bunch. Either the 0.9Tce or the 1.5dci. avoid the 1.2 petrol.
>Renault Clio - same engines as the Logan/Sandero. Actually pretty reliable cars.
>Kia Cee'd if it fits the budget
>Hyundai i20
Out of the bunch I'd pick the Logan as it's the biggest and the cheapest to buy. Allthough a very reliable car, do keep in mind that parts are more expensive than average, due to them being French.
If I wanted something also abit stylish, I would go for a Seat Toledo 1.0 TSI. It's the same shit as the Rapid, but I like the Toledo's styling abit more.
P.S. I'm from Romania, so we're somewhat neighbours. Now give me some rakia and some kompot.

wait, toyota is hard to maintain?
I am kinda expossed to american internet and people there have really raging boner for hondas and toyotas as reliable and easy to maintain
and they tend to shit on european cars as over-engineered with expensive repairs
