Work horse for £2k or less
Basically I'm working a lot more hours and doing around 500 miles a week, so looking to buy a work horse as I don't really want to be putting that sort of mileage onto my 5 month old Insignia which is approaching 8k as it is.
Two cars I've been looking a lot at are the Focus 1.8 tdci and Astra 1.7dti.. both seem fairly economical, cheap to maintain/insure etc. The problem is I've had a Mondeo with the 1.8 tdci before and had absolute hell with it, so was just wondering if there's any other cars to consider? or models/engines etc.
Cheers
edit - mostly motorway driving btw!

What was your problem with the Mondeo?0

£2k on another car and the extra insurance, tax, servicing etc. Surely thats going to cost you more than simply adding miles
onto the car you have?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
