Sugestions - Peter
I am looking for suggestions, my partner wants to spend £5kto £6k to replace her current car. She would like VW Golf. However I am confused ? when you go to one of the so-called car super markets while the 75k milers seem reasonable on price the low mileage vehicles seem to be at the of their used price bracket. Are there any other motors that fit into this price range that would fit the same kind of requirements without ludicrous depreciation?

re golf: SWMBO bought a glof R plate (2 years ago) 1.6 GL, 22k, electric windows/roof for £6.5K.

I think that it is just a case of looking around and try and get a private sale.

Are you ABSOLUTELY fixed on Golf?

Small japanese score higher on reliabilty - and after all what counts more?

I would certainly recommend VW Group if you want a diesel
(that means Skoda or Seat), otherwise

Toyota Yaris or Corolla
Nissan Micra or Almera
Honda Civic or Accord

They all rate MUCH higher than Golf in User satisfaction surveys.

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?
