    I want to buy a new petrol small car on PCP

    Which would people recommend for a daily commute of 32 km each way and a bit of driving around at the weekends.

    Seat Ibiza v Skoda Fabia V Ford Fiesta v Hyundai i30 or anything else.

    looking for low predictable costs and comfort as I'm currently driving a 10 old petrol 5 series

    Bought a Mini Cooper in Jan, and it's going well.

    Toyota Auris 1.2 turbo. Much nicer than all the cars listed above imo.

    would you not just keep the 5 series? you arent doing much mileage and all those cars are gonna be a massive downgrade and cost more overall (most likely) depreciation and pcp cost v the 5 series... Maybe not if its a 3L 5'er though...

    Compared to an i30? I didn't think it was tbh.

    I assumed the OP meant i20 given that they were looking at other superminis.
    Also at €23500, I would reckon the PCP would be quite expensive given that the 1.2 D-4T is a bit of an unknown quantity resale wise and GMFV will be conservatively low.
