It's new (used) car time and I'm stuck I what to get. Currenly I've got a 10 year old Skoda Octavia which I've had for 6 years, it's been very reliable but I fancy a change and need something a little newer for work use.
I hake a £10k budget and so far of narrowed it down to the VW group cars:
Octavia Estate - Better looking than the hatch (which I have now), good reviews but not very wow and cost more secondhand than I expected.
Golf Estate - Smaller than the Octavia but big enough for the bikes, hard to find.
A3 Sportback - Suprisingly similar in cost to the other choices and there are more available secondhand. Just not sure it is big enough for 2 bikes. Better quality interior.
Most of the time it will just be me in the car but needs to be able to take 2 people and 2 bikes. I do about 12k miles per year so not to fussed whether it's petrol or diesel.
I have ruled out the Passat and Mazda 6 due to to many reports of expensive problems with the diesel engines. Not interested in French or Italian cars.
