Second hand car
Im thinking about buying a second hand car but unsure which 1 to go for, i was thinking of a 4 door 1 but nothing like a mondeo or similar size, i was thinking of a 4 door golf, are golfs any good or is there a better manufacturer, i got a 206 at the minute

VW's in general are good - so too Skoda's. Focus? Yaris?Genie

4 doors cars of the Golf size are very cheap, if you don't mind driving a pudding.
Bora, Toledo, Jetta, Focus 4dr etc...0 -
Sorry to be pedantic but the Golf is a 5 door (or 3 door). Do you specifically want a medium sized 5 door hatchback, or do you really want a 4 door?
The Golf is a good 2nd hand buy, but not cheap because they hold their value well.
The 4 door Golf (the Bora) is very rare and you might not easily find a second hand one o/s the VW network.No free lunch, and no free laptop

id forgotten about the boot being a door, maybe sometihng like a vw golf 5 door would be good, just dont know what to consider and to not consider0 -
Depends rather on what you want from your car. You haven't really narrowed down your options. Size/doors/engine size/diesel/petrol/budget?
Not clear why you mention a Mondeo, as this is a completely different size of car to the Golf. The Focus is the nearest comparison to the Golf (small hatchback).No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
like previous poster says Golf really hold their value well meaning they are more expensive 2nd hand buy .
Have you considered something like a Mazda 3 ( or 323 if you go older ) ,or a Honda Civic
You cannot beat Japanese for reliablity .Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:0
