€3000 for a hatchback

dazey

On the lookout for a small engined hatchback for around 3k. I've only ever had 4 doors and while I don't usually carry more than two people something about 4 doors feels better! Cars in the running at the moment include -

Toyota Aygo - cheap to tax, insure and fuel, but interior is a bit cheap and most models are only 2 door

Renault Clio - seems to be everywhere. Looks attractively sporty though

Renault Modus - taken off the Irish market recently and not too well known. That plus a Renault badge = cheap buying costs for a 2006 in decent nick. Bang of old people's car off it though ( Renault's version of the fiat panda)

Renault Twingo - neat little build, cheap as chips

Opel/ Vauxhall Astra - More car for your money's worth, feels like a 'proper' car compared to the others for drives over 30 mins long, more comfortable than some of the city cars mentioned above

Opinions??

Big variation of cars there from city cars to a mini mpv to a medium family car.

You'd get a decent Ford Fiesta:
