€12-€15k for comfortable family sized car

dinneenp

Hi,
Currently have a Saab 93, extremely comfortable & nice interior trim but old. Looking at replacing with something - about 2015 or thereabouts
-nice interior trim, dash etc.
- Bluetooth for music & calls (presume all cars fom 2015 upward would have this)
- steering wheel controls (eg music etc). Not a deal breaker as I know some Skodas don't have this but would like it
- foldable back seats so a bike can be put in the boot (with front wheel off). Again, not a deal beaker if doesn't have this but would like it.
The Skoda Octavia comes to mind, any other suggestions please?
Budget can increase if needed & would consider a hybrid if its economically worth it, my thoughts is a 5 year old battery could need expensive replacing soon.
Thanks

For that price you can go one ahead of the Octavia, which is a biggish car built on the chassis of a Golf, and go for a Superb which is Skoda's version of a Passat. You would get nice spec and mileage for that money. And you would still get a decent 4 year old Passat for that money too. Both good recommendations, solid nice looking cars with a lot of space in the back and boot.

The Renault Megane Grand Coupe is a fine car, very stylish,classy and well equipped too and you should be able to pick one up for that money maybe even a 2016 or 17 one or even a 2018 one like the one in the link below,
