Hi all,
I've scrapped my idea of buying a Audi A3 and gonna buy a 1.6 diesel.
I do 500/600 miles a week and a 2010-2012 five door hatchback diesel fits my needs. What's in important to me in reliability, fuel ecomony, looks and high spec. Budget would be around £14000-$15000
I would like to hear peoples opinions on what type of hatchbacks are out there.
I'm not considering VW, Audi, BMW, SAAB, ALFA.
Thanks
Like a Boss :D
Kia Ceed or Hyundai i30.
Basically the same car, Kia is a bit bigger and more comfortable, Hyundai a bit sportier perhaps.
Know more about the Ceed, great car. Get one that is MY10 onwards (post facelift with the "Tiger Nose"). For your budget you should be able to get one of the very last of the old models, might even get a new model ex-demonstator.
Kia has a 7 year warranty, its unlimited mileage for the first 3 years but after that its limited to 100,000 miles, at your mileage it will finish after 4 years. Hyundai is unlimited for 5 years. Make sure either has a full service history with receipts (preferably main dealer), applies to any car you buy in truth.
