New Job, New Car

[Jates12]

So ive just received a promotion at work (Yay:clap But it means my commute has pretty much doubled so im looking at investing a new car. I need something thats pretty economical, around the midsize Hatchback. Potentially looking for a diesel as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Some of the larger variants of the Mini are pretty spacious inside and the diesels give fantastic MPG. Also very nice to drive. A mate of mine had a Polo Bluemotion and that ran everywhere on fumes.

Toyota Auris. Economical, reliable, big boot to store the golf clubs. Highly recommend.

Kia Cee'd had mine 5 years or so, drives well decent boot, reliable and get plenty of bang for buck

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Skoda Octavia

I think a Golf is the answer to most questions about what is the best hatchback.

 

[Slime]

Kia Cee'd or Hyundai i30.
Both have the same 1.6 diesel which is very reliable, very economical & come with great warranties.

especially if the question is which hatchback has the worst emissions lol

Honda Civic. Huge boot, ultra reliable.

 

[Robster59]

I'd also say a Skoda is a great choice. I have the Superb but my brother has the Octavio and he is also delighted with it. Loads of passenger space and a large boot.

The new Vauxhall Astra is a great mid sized car - very comfortable too.

I have just changed to a diesel 1.6 focus, I get 48 mpg, I find it fine, it's not a wow car it's just practical. I had a civic before, I loved it, great car but was petrol so only got 34 mpg, the price for the diesel over the Ford was too much to justify for me but if it hadn't been I would have went for the Honda.

Don't get the hybrid version! Battery takes up most of the big boot.. inside is a bit cramped compared to my other car (Honda civic) which also has a massive massive boot...... can fit in the clubs without taking the driver out
