Decent buy for £7,500
I have been driving for 3 years now, owning a Peugeot 206 which has served me nicely. I have 3 years no claims with Aviva.
Since my brother now drives, the time has come for me to buy a car of my own, since sharing has become a bit of a problem now.
I was just wondering what your views are on Golf TDI's as cars for a 21 year old male?
Secondly, I have a budget of around £7,500 to buy a used car, so are there any that you might recommend? I was thinking along the lines of VW Golf, Ford Focus, or possibly a Mini if I can find one for a good price.

Generally the PSA/Ford 2.0 HDI/TDCI has been a lot more reliable than the VAG 2.0TDI.

My daughter lives in Croydon and is looking to purchase a used car Focus/Golf type, petrol and budget £7000 max. I live in Derby and wonder if it would be advantageous to source one from this area.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
