What next?

rob316

I have a 2012 VW CC with 72k up on her, I bought it as I was doing alot of long driving at the time but my need for it was gone after a few months.

Fast forward year and half and I'd like to change it. I absolutely love the car but diesel aint for driving around town in. I'm eyeing the Lexus IS300H but I cant think of much else, any ideas?

Touch of luxury like the CC and fuel effecient are my requirements.

Thanks

Oh ya, I'll probably get 12/13 for the CC so I'll throw another 5 on. I'll buying from the UK too.

I saw this today I was thinking about going for it. Its a bit higher on the mileage side than I want but well inside my budget. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201808239778024?sort=price-asc&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&model=IS%20300&postcode=l40th&price-to=14000&make=LEXUS&radius=1500&price-from=12000&page=1

What about a Mazda 6 petrol? Top spec 2016 here for similar money:

That is stunning but puts me a bit out of budget when VRT is accounted for.

Seen a couple on there 2014 for about 15k all in, nice looking motors. I'll check one out locally over the weekend if I can.

Would I see much of a drop on MPG around town on the CC? with my driving style its not great currently 27-30mpg

If looking at the Mazda6 try and aim for a 2015 facelift model. They got a refreshed interior with a higher quality dashboard. They also got a revised suspension and improved sound proofing. The high spec models also gained led adaptive headlights.
