Focus '10 vs Megane '10

Sean Quagmire

I've short listed two cars to hopefully make a deal on this week with a budget of around 13k - changing from a seat leon.
One is the new shape megane 1.5 diesel dynamique (good spec). 70km on the clock and very tidy. not this car but very similar:

The other is a ford focus, good spec though with higher milage

I know the focus has a solid reputation, but what is the general consensus of the Megane? I like the styling of both tbh (although the interior of the focus is a bit drab).

Any feedback appreciated.

I drive a 2010 Ford Focus and must say that its an excellent car imho, although I have no experience of the Megane.

Any questions about the Focus feel free to ask.

Another Leon?

If that's a Stylance with the Sport Up pack it's a high spec model but the lack of front fogs imply it's a face lift ecomotive with nice alloys. No dpf to worry about, and that engine isn't the worst and very reliable if looked after. Looks well too.

I certainly would not limit myself to those two.

I'd also look at something this also:
