    Looking for some help here.
    Need to change my car asap.
    Have a 3-3500k of trade in and have up to 20k cash to spend on top max.
    Must be able to carry up to 5 adults in comfort, mainly going to be used for city driving.
    Was thinking of a Skoda Octavia or a Corolla what do you think or am I missing anything else?
    Cheers.

    So you have 23k to spend right.. A Corolla or Octavia are a bit small for your requirements. I would be thinking about a Honda Accord or a Skoda Superb. What is your annual mileage op??

    As already said you probably couldn't fit 5 adults comfortably into a corolla or octavia you could get a 2011 ford mondeo 2.0 diesel with 140 bhp and plenty of spec for your budget

    A corolla can't even carry one person comfortably to be fair


    Consider a superb, or as was suggested a mondeo

    Also consider a Vw passat very nice car

    Was in a Superb for the first time on the continent recently. It was a taxi and I was a little put out at first as it arrived at the airport rank following a long line of Mercs.

    Have to say I was very impressed by the space and comfort in the back. There must have been close to 2 feet of leg room.

    also consider an opel insignia/ citroen c5/peugeot 508.
