To use 2 of our recent cars as examples:
Seat Leon 1.4 TSi.
You will get one within your budget, road tax £30, insurance was under £200 and it averaged 45 mpg over 4 years.
We averaged about 6500 miles a years with mostly local miles
5 people fitted when needed
Ride very comfortable
DIY, are you feeling lucky?
Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S
Easilly get one within ypur budget, road tax £0, insurance under £200, has averaged almost 50mpg for 3 years
Averaged anout 8,000 miles a year for 3 years, mostly local.
5 people easilly fit
Ride very comfortable
DIY, are ypu feeling lucky
Leon is without doubt the better car but the Note does have its advantages (shorter but just as spaceous).
Forget Auto for both, Leon has the potentially troublesome DSG and Note the horrid CVT. Both have smooth clutches and light accuarate changes so no hardship.
