Cheaper road tax, economy I'm not bothered about, usually better performance with a petrol engine.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostComment

You can't afford a Golf for that budget - but the nearly-new or ex-demo 59/10/60 Polos may just fit the bill.
Or what about a Seat - I hear they're pretty much the same as a Golf/Polo underneath, as are the Skoda Fabias - but they look awful.Comment

Diesels have lower Co2 therefore cheaper road tax, not much difference with small engines though.Originally posted by Cliphead View Post
Mazda 6? Lovely motor for the money, I've got the previous model but plan to upgrade soon.Last edited by gingerjedi; 6 January 2011, 11:02.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Sadly the newer models don't have an MPS version otherwise I would upgrade. The Mazda 6 MPS has been my most reliable, fun car ever - and all for peanuts.
For 12K you would get a very good, low mileage, maybe 1-2 year old example, albeit at the bottom of the range, maybe a 1.8 or 2.0 litre - but that should be ample for comfortable, reliable, trouble-free, and dare I say reasonably stylish motoring for many years.Last edited by sasguru; 5 January 2011, 23:04.Hard Brexit now!

If a 7 year manufacturers warranty means anything, you could buy a nearly new Kia Ceed for about 10K.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostComment

Why get new when you can get a fun vintage car. Like this nice example.
