Buying a new mid-range car - what do you recommend
It's time to change my five yearvold BMW 116d Sport and I can't afford a new one. I'm looking at a Seat Leon or Kia Cee'd. Budget is up to £18,000, including part exchange on BMW. Which would you recommend and which model?

The cee'd will inevitably be the most reliable. The SEAT will be a bit better to drive.

Quality and refinement are impressive. Great to drive with sharp handling. Shares same base as contemporary Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf.
