Which used car to get?

[pes2013]

Hey

As a followup to my "car ass" thread, Ive found these cars which Im looking at which to get.

Ill post the car, price then its read end:

OPEL Vectra 2.2 Dci 125 Cv 03 (3.900?)

TOYOTA Avensis 2.0D4D Linea Luna -00 (3.990?)

VOLKSWAGEN Passat 1.9 TDi 130CV Trendline -01 (4.300?)

HYUNDAI Elantra 2.0 Gls Crdi 03 (2.500?)

SKODA Octavia 1.9 TDI Active -06 (4.800?)

CITROEN C5 2.0 HDI SX 02 (5.300?)

FORD Mondeo 2.0 Tdci Ghia 03 (2.999?)

SAAB 9-3 2.2TiD 04 (6.500?)

BTW, the Passat's ass drives my crazy. My fav thus far but there might be a reason to get one over the other.

Passatt for me, can't beat german quality! Its basically and Audi a4

[Glassed Silver]

I'm biased being German and a fan of VW, but I'd go with the Passat, too.

VW

The only "but" with the Passat is the insurance. Might be high for a first time driver.

VW of the choices.

[pes2013]

BTW, since I see everyone in love with VM........

That used car has 160 000 - 169 999 kms; If that means anything to anyone and changes their mind...

having that many kms on it would sway my decision. Im fairly sure my sister has the Opel Vectra. seems like a nice car, but idk anything about Opel

[Glassed Silver]

Skoda maybe then.

It's basically a VW, since Skoda is a VW brand.

Glassed Silver:win

Damn, I think the Passat got sold :( What would be the second choice?

[Dashel]

TDi then Skoda/Saab.

That one has 129.000 Kms on it. Remember that this is first time used car; In a few years I HOPE to upgrade to something newer and better.

Skoda maybe then.

The Skoda has 100 000 - 109 999 kms

[Glassed Silver]

100k seems fair enough to me for a first car especially if you want to move on to the next car in a "few years" anyways.

YMMV depending on how much and under which conditions you need to drive though. :)

Toyota or the Ford. The rest are rubbish IMO.

Either the Mondeo or the Avensis. Where are you from, Spain? 2L will damage your pockets.

I personally find the build quality of Vauxhalls to be naff.

I also say the Passat.

Well, depending on the mileage of the Skoda, that would be my second. I have a friend in London who has one.

I drive a Skoda Octavia (VRS) and it's fantastic. As a happy customer, I'd gladly recommend one to any potential purchaser.

Anything from ze germans:

VW-Audi Group, BMW, Merc.

Passat. I agree though the arse is ugly. I prefer the Passat CC for that reason.

Audi A4 isn't an option?

[watkinsx2]

I think the Saab looks the best out of them but buying with my head I would go for the Skoda.

The Opel (which is also german)

Being an American, I'd agree with this post!! Even at that, I'd go with the Ford, even though that's not one of Fords better cars either. Personally, I'd start my list all over!!
