On the look out for a new car! Just turned 22 and fed up with my MK4 Golf GTI, and it's not to good for motorway cruising if am being honest, were I do about 70% of my mileage...

My budget is around £2000-3000 so will be looking at cars with over 100k on them really.

I don't know much about saabs... but how likely are they to go wrong and give big bills in general. I know it depends on the car etc.
And if anything does go wrong are they easy enough to diy or is it better left to the garage?

So main question is, is it worth looking at a saab aero for a cheapish run about? Doing 15K a year so MPG kind of matter a bit and managing to get 38MPG out of my golf combined, will a saab manage to get near that? Hear alot of people struggling to get into the 30's but surely that's purely town driving? Also is there a big difference in MPG between the two? As well as the general running costs of them.

Also is there any common stuff I should look out for when going to view them?

Cheers for any advice.
