We need to buy a second car for commuting and occasional business trips. We already have an Audi A6 Avant as our family car, so space isn't the main priority, but I would like the best combination of value for money, running costs and driving pleasure. I really rate all modern Fords for the latter but am a bit put off by the interiors. Have had a Leon in the past which was a good car. We have had various Renaults with mixed results on reliability. I would over to get an Alfa and have long hankered after a Saab, but am concerned about reliability and resale. All signs seem to be pointing to a Focus, but would be grateful for any views. Maximum budget is £2500-3000.
