Posted a few questions on here recently around this subject when I thought I knew what I wanted. However, after having a look around, I now really don't know what car I want.
I'd love to keep it around 6 or 7k but would stretch to 10k if I felt like I was getting a lot more car for the money.
At the moment, it's hard to work out the mileage as it's for a new job which is about 40 miles away. There is some working away but they'd provide accomodation for that. I hope I'll be doing less than 20k miles a year in it for the next 2 years before we relocate.
We also don't change cars very often (if at all). I'd like something that is going to feel as good after an extra 100000 miles as our '98 Corolla does, so long term durability is important to us.
Really don't care how bland or dull it is.
I would like enough room inside to stand bikes up with front wheel and seat post out. Used to be able to do this with a 2006 Focus hatch but was disappointed whern the newer Corolla and the Auris weren't big enough.
At first, we were looking for really efficient cars but after some number crunching, realised that it's not the biggest cost variable when you add in service intervals, tax and insurance.
So, I know it's a lot to ask but what's the most reliable, capacious second hand car that costs buttons and will eat miles?
