Haven't been really watching Avensis's for a bit, would you get much of a post 08 Avensis daysul for the budget?

I know you said 2.0 litre max but on the new tax system engine size doesn't count for much so maybe a Honda Civic:

Alternatively you have the likes of the Kia Ceed or Hyundai i30 with long warranties.

i was actually looking at that exact civic and suggested it but my father thought on account of it being a 2.2 the tax would be massive.

Tax on them is €225 per year at the moment.
