Changing car

[JT77]

Hi folks
Currently drive a Honda Civic, I like it, 1.8 petrol, shifts ok, big boot, but it's 61/2 year old so looking a change.
Looked at Ford Focus, Astra gtc, maybe another Honda.
I like something with a bit poke but don't want to break the bank, so 10k max, not a fan of bigger cars, and wife has an ix35 for our family car.
So looking a little help, experiences, thanks.
Oh, maybe 14 plate is what I'd like.
Cheers

We have just replaced my wife's BMW 525 with a 2 litre TDI Skoda Octavia estate. It is briliant and great value.

I'd keep the Civic. Unless it has a littany of breakdowns and faults, 6.5 yrs is nothing these days and Honda reliability and quality is up with the best.

I couldn't do an estate car Clive, thanks,
I'm kinda hankering for a change bm, wife okayed it lol

Mercedes C Coupe. Superb car, the C300 has a bit of punch and the interior and boot are big.
Very comfy car to drive and looks superb.

Edit: just noticed your budget. Might not be a helpful suggestion sfter all.

your big issue will be the 14plate and 10k budget. Yes you'll be able to get something without a doubt, but with poke your very limited.
Whats your definition of poke?

I'm trying to stick to it but can flex, just similar to what I have, not talking focus rs lol

I've got a 2013 Ford Focus ST. Its spacious, comfy and has a nice bit of speed. I think you can pick them up for around £10k. 34mpg when I'm being careful.

BMW Z4 you will get a very nice 2014 for 10K .got the poke and room for a carry bag in the boot

I've just chopped in my Focus for a Civic.
If I want to carry a trolley and bag you need to take out the wood and get rid of the parcel shelf.

Skoda Fabia VRS, only 1.4 but knocking out 180bhp, should be quick enough

Mazda 3 sport? New model looks good and won't break the bank.

 

[JT77]

I'm looking to replace my 13yr old Barge soon (Skoda Superb,03 plate..had from new) and tbh unless I go for an estate, which I don't want or some sort of SUV, the only car I have found to take my Sun Mountain C130 complete with clubs and my Golfstream trolley is a Honda Civic. Nothing else has matched it when looking around.
