What to get as next car?

Re: What to get as next car?

Diesel is definitely the way forward I think. I had a Megane a while back - 1.5 diesel so cheap to insure, suburb on economy and had well over 100k on the clock when I sold it (to my parents!). As previously posted, as long as the service history is there you should be fine.

PS Jon1965 I have a Civic but I have driven a Jazz and they aren't that bad

So basically hold out and get a diesel.

I do drive 60 miles each way to work so makes sense just cant seem to see anything within my bracket thats not done silly amount of miles.

I'm no expert when it comes to cars but I don't think "silly amounts" of miles matter when it comes to diesels, certainly not if they've been regularly serviced.

Mine had over 110K on it when I bought it (it was just short of 5 years old at the time.) I've had it for 7 years and it's only needed work doing that you would expect of a car its age.

Hondas are very good but Kila is a bit young for a Jazz lol

Re: What to get as next car?

I drive a lot of miles and for me it's diesel all the way. I have a Honda but I think Skodas offer very good value for money.

Skoda's are very good value and being a VW just in a different skin they are also very reliable.

So what is a british car these days, my wife has a toyota that was made in Derby, is that a british car

We don't have any British cars anymore, and when we did most were rubbish....

Nothing wrong with a UK built Toyota BTW.

Re: What to get as next car?

Decided on A Fabia.



Seen a Petrol 1.4 with 58k on the clock @ £2895

But i drive 60 miles each way to work so diesel seems to keep on being the better choice.


What to decide??

VW in disguise....

Even the body shell is better than was previously being German made, Even the taxi drivers around here have taken a liking to skoda and clock up some impressive miles too.

Re: What to get as next car?

Decided on a Skoda Fabia 1.9 diesel for next car and looking at around Feb for Purcahse dependant on how things go with housing by then.


Better fuel efficiency than the micra and wont sound like its struggling either

Good choice, to put it simply, It's a VW Golf wrapped up in a Skoda bodyshell.
