Im looking to change my car, its a clio 2004 1.2 dynamique. its costing me £260 a month, im looking to spend £150. These means im looking tp spend around £5-6k.
Only thing is, i want everything in a car, my clio has air con, xenons, 6 stack cd player etc.
So, i've been looking into getting like a Audi A3, my brother has one, but the 1.8T, which i cant get insured on, but its lovly. So i can get a 1.6SE or sport, some come with leather etc.
Or something like a focus, can get alot of car for the money, as there are so bloody many of them.
I think i have covered every option in cars, and have narrowed it down to the above and similar.
Anyway, what car would you buy for that price, it has to be a small car, nothing bigger than the A3, not van or any of that crap.
Full Version: choice of cars

A3 is quite expensive for what you get. It is a small car with the price tag of a big car, quality is great and material used is heavy and descent... on the road on the other hand it nice if you only use it for long trips. It lacks the fun and feeling of driving. Don't get me wrong. It drives really smooth but it reacts a bit slow. If you want driving pleasure go for a new focus and add some nice options.... it's a lot more fun to drive... very responsive on the steering and sticks to the road. I have both cars. The a3 is the company car and the focus i have as my personal car. In the weekends i drive the focus as I have a rather sporty driving style
If you like the Audi why not look at the sporty Seats. They are the same car as the Audi underneath for a lot less money.

haha, when i read that, the car manafacture didnt pop into my head, just thought you ment to get sporty seats and drive them.
The A3 is the best looking car for under £25,000 imo. It beautifull.
I would go for that in a heartbeat.
