    Sorry for starting a new thread but I would really appreciate some help and after reading numerous threads I still dont know what to buy!

    My max budget would be €15k - I currently drive a Mazda 323 saloon (my first car) but I want to move onto something a bit bigger (not hard I know) as I am in position to be able to spend a few quid, the next car I will buy will do me for the next 5 years if not more...

    sorry should have added that I would be doing about 8-10k miles a year

    Could be chaning jobs too and may have to be the car a lot more as well so the above figure could change

    thanks

    Well i like the 2.0 TDCI mondeo, or the Mazda 6 for journeys like that. there nice to waft down the carriageways. I had a mondeo zetec and loved it for motorway journeys, but city drives, my leg got cramped with clutchin alot.

    I got an accord 2.2i-CTDI at the mo, and its prob the best drive ive ever had in a car.
