Hi there,

I have managed not to own my own car for 11 years. Whilst I use my fiancee's Peugeot 206 regularly, I feel it is about time to buy my own car but it needs to have character. I have dreamed of the Volvo Amazon (too expensive, too much maintenance for a dummy) and 240 sedan and now considering the latter.

Without having much knowledge of cars and mechanics, would a 240 be a good idea? If so, what model/year and is there anything I should stay away from?

Car would be used for commuting (15 mins) about 3 out of 5 days.

Thanks for your help!
