i'm looking to spend around £5-7k on a used car and wondered what I can get for my money. I just want something small but not a mini type but is also fuel efficient on the motorway.

I used to stick with Toyotas but I find them really bland now

Am thinking about the Golf 1.6 TDi

Any suggestions?

Diesels are losing popularity and it's anyone's guess how that will play out longer term. You still have the choice of diesel or a fuel efficient petrol. Or hybrids which appear to be gaining in popularity

If you don't want a hybrid you can't go far wrong with Skoda Octavia or its Seat twin the Leon. They are both Golfs, just cheaper and more reliable.

Or live with the shame and buy a Mark 2 Jazz, bloomin brilliant cars with an old fogey reputation.

most car makers collaborate on designs now, to save on production costs. I just bought a Peugot 107. lots of stuff interchangeable with the Toyota Aygo.
both cars very good. small, 4 seats, economical.

I disengage, I turn the page.

Hyundai i20 (mine has gone on forever from new) or i10 (my mother-in-law’s has gone on forever from new). Experts on here will no doubt point out that there are almost identical cars in the Kia range, but I don’t know what they are.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I think you get more torque on a diesel engine of a certain size and pulling tons of goods you need that torque per size ratio.
It doesn't mean that us minions arnt goner get shafted though.
As per normal !!!

Not a bad shout but an i30 would be the Golf size. The Kia equivalent is the Ceed.
