Need an automatic

jerryg · 2014-10-18 15:54:35

I need to buy an automatic Diesel as I have trouble with my left knee. My budget is about 5K plus my Citroen C5 2003 a really good car that gets a lot of bad press. My choices are 1.9 tdi Audi or passat or Skoda octavia any ideas on the best cars out there for this budget. Many Thanks Jerry.

I had a c220 cdi for 7 years and my annual repair bills were too high it was not as relable as a citroen but a way classier car and lovely motorway car but high tax and repair bills meant it had to go but it has a super gearbox and engine.

A Volvo S60 D5 if you are ok with the higher motor tax.
