Another what car!

[Vladikar]

Well it seems the time has come to sell up on my Clio R27.

A combination of poor MPG and lack of comfort is making me think twice about it's future with me.

I took a Skoda Octavia for a spin today which was the 2008 model and thought it was good. Ideally I would like a bigger car, I really like the blue efficiency Mercs but they are a little over budget

I have approximately £10k to spend maximum, must haves include:
- Decent MPG (40+)
- Coolish/differentfor my age (21)
- Comfortable
- MP3 connectivity
- Possibly automatic (not a must though)

PH to the rescue?

BMW 123d?

What about an Alfa 159 1.9jtdm? I'm not sure about the automatic though.

Hmmm, I quite like that cloverleaf. Not seen one around before - have you had one yourself Cod?

Octavia VRS - 50MPG, 12,000 miles per annum = £1506 on diesel
Clio 197 F1 - 26MPG, 12,000 miles per annum = £2790 on petrol

Saving = £1290 Per annum, just over £100 per month in pocket better off.

Some sort of e90 3 series saloon/coupe? Can easily be had for under 10k now.

If you are only getting 27mpg from the Clio, don't expect to get 50mpg in the VRS. 40-45 max I'd say.
