Car recommendation

economiser

We need a second car but know nothing about cars. It must be auto and ideally have A/C. It would do low mileage mostly in town. Must be hatchback or estate. Not interested in "performance", a steady reliable workhorse wanted. Not interested in a status symbol or depreciation, we keep our cars till they drop. Must suit a 6 footer. Could be new or secondhand.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

You cant go far wrong with a Focus Diesel Auto.

I will have to pay whatever I need to pay Troubleatmill. I guess we are looking at about £10000 but I would need to think about it when I have a car in mind.

I'll have a look at the Focus balsingh

I have an Audi A2 1.4 TDI, costs about £22 to fill the tank, with approx 320 mpg round town, fully comp insurance is £200 per year.......and here's the best bit, with last weeks budget my road tax for 12 months is .....£35 !!!!!

Have a look at the Skoda Fabias 1.4 TDI in either 70.80 or 100bhp guise
all of them are available with the bits you need & can be had for under 10k

Not bad cars either

I second mcfisco, the Skoda's are a superb purchase (Although if you look carefully you will find that Skoda residuals are now nudging if not exceeding those of its sister company (VW)). Therefore I would suggest having a look at the Skoda and the VW Golf as both are the same, the Skoda will tend to be better equipped though.

At present im on a live auction offering VW product including UK supplied Golf 1.6 fsi auto 06/06 at £12500 only 10,000 miles. Price is excellent manufacturer is one of the best.

A car broker is your answer,

If you need more info let me know

Ditto what the other posters say.

I would go for a Skoda Octavia. Plenty of room for a six-footer, and the boot has a huge capacity. Go for an Elegance model if possible, which should come with all the equipment you need.
