At 1500 quid forget picking the car model you want, simply judge it on car condition.0 -
Get some old VAG product that'll run for a million miles!0

How long do you need the car to last you for, and will it be motorway miles?
I would consider a VW Passat TDi, you would be looking at a 10 year old one with 100k+ on the clock.
Doing those sort of miles I would be changing the oil every 2-3 months.0 -
ford focus buy with your eyes for that money0

Buy a Mk3 Golf. They are mostly bombproof.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

1,000 miles a week in any of those cars, and you'll soon be deaf. I'd up your budget and get a larger car.0

Skoda Octavia. Based on the Golf, same engines, you'll get more for your money I imagine too. Especially at the £1.5k end.0
