Hi guys im trying to narrowdown on a car, i was going up to a budget of 6k(4-5k is ideal) max 70k mileage I travel about 17k a year and economy is important with about 70% motrway/a roads.

my shortlist is

jazz auto cvt

yaris petrol multidrive

and hyundai i30 auto diesel

which would you advise from the three yet personally the jazz/yaris isnt as appealing as the i30 lookswise.

Thanks

I'm sorry nobody else has answered this yet: it could be because it's not very clear what your rationale is. Why a petrol Yaris yet a diesel Hyundai? (I know there isn't a diesel Jazz.)

You need to avoid anything with a semi-automatic gearbox, which at one time both the Jazz and the Yaris had, although more recently the Jazz has had a CVT.

Your mileage and type of motoring suggest that a diesel would suit you. Add the Kia Ceed (similar to the i30) to your list and see what you can find in good condition and with a full service history. use Cars for Sale on this site as well as Autotrader.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
