Help on Choosing a Used Car!

Hi,

Got around 6k to spend on a car, going to be doing around 13,000 miles per year.

Having previously had a little polo I'm now looking at a medium sized car i.e. Astra, Focus etc

Should I opt for a Diesel? due to the mileage.

I've seen a lot of used Focus, Astras, Ceed on the used car market and i'm leaning to towards the Astra 1.6.

Any recommendations? on which car, reliability and engine?

Thanks!

    Unless like me you spend 99.9% of your time in heavy traffic.
