So I was on the look out for a replacement.

She was not willing to drive a K11 anymore and our price range did limit us to older cars.

In the meantime, she had to use my estate, which is a diesel manual, for at least 3 weeks.
It is a big car compared to the Micra and she was very much stressed up but didn't have trouble, let alone two to three stalling a day.

She got 44 mpg out of it on her quite difficult route.

She tried three vehicles along the search.
A Peugeot 206 manual gasoline, which was a 3 door and a little old (99)

A Renault Clio mark 2 with the famous 1.5 diesel engine from Renault (currently found in Nissan but also Mercedes CLA) but she couldn't drive it due to ergonomics (as a petite chinese, so has quite short legs), no need to mention I was very disapointed.

And last, the car of her dreams : an auto K12 Micra
