Help me choose.
Discussion
I've more or less whittled down my next car to a choice of three but having a real hard time deciding between them. Availability north of the border is a real issue with some of them as well.
Choices seem to be Accord Type R, renaultsport Megane or a Seat Leon Cupra, possibly with a remap at some point.
The ATR is quite a bit older for most of them, often with mileages to match. As a saloon and non folding back seats this might be a problem for carrying a large amount of crap for holidays and/dump runs? Closest one on AT is 150 miles away as well.
Renaultsport Megane is a big favourite at the minute but the ones in budget have high miles. Do they wear these well if looked after? I know the belts can be expensive but this is the favourite at the moment. I even like the orange colour.
Leon Cupra is also looking good. 1.8T engine is well known and any troubles have been identified. Looks good to my mind but there will always be a nagging thought that th Cupra R is the better version but it's out of my price range.
Thoughts? Budget is no more than £4k, ideally £3k or less!

Honda.
That's my knee-jerk opinion based on nothing more than thinking Seats are just Skodas and that all French cars are rubbish because my AX GT used to break down a lot. HTH.
But if a Skoda is just a Volkswagen?That's my knee-jerk opinion based on nothing more than thinking Seats are just Skodas and that all French cars are rubbish because my AX GT used to break down a lot. HTH.
Doesn't make me want one, so still Honda, and still for no good reason.
skoda beat vw in the last reliability review thing anyway.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
