Hi all. Need to buy a new car within the next couple of weeks, and as you'll all know, it's a bit of a minefield - especially as I've not really paid much attention to what's out there for a number of years now! I'm hoping for some advice to help me narrow my search.
I'm after:
- a mid sized hatch
- nippy off the lights, but more importantly something that responds well on motorways in the 50-80mph range, but not over the top (i.e. not a sports car!)
- something around the 1.4 engine size
I've sort of narrowed it down to the Focus / Astra / Octavia / Leon / C'eed range. I'm budgeting around 7-10k, which tells me I can look for something from around 2013/2014.
Bearing in mind the year, any recommendations from this list on how I can further narrow my search? Thanks!
