I think I must be really out of touch with prices if this is now normal pricing for a budget family car...!

Car prices are one of the commercial values that seem to have lost contact with the rest of the UK. I think most new cars are grossly overpriced in the UK and are much more expensive than prices in the rest of the EU.

Looks like a slightly better looking VW Scirocco.

I doubt many people will pay full retail for one of these anyway.

Once depreciation is taken into account, I doubt any of them would be significantly more expensive to run than a new kia for £17500...

However, this is the new car vs. used car debate again...Pointless going into (vanity/ocd vs. sanity), but surely most of these will be bought by fleets, in which case it makes sense.

On another note, imo it looks good - the interior seems nice enough.
