Advice please 15k Budget.

Would love some advice and ideas on cars to look for.

My budget is 15k.

I currently drive a 2008 1.6 Mondeo which has is on its way out so want to replace it.

I like saloon shaped cars and not too keen on SUV shape to be honest but open to opinions.

I need a large boot as I coach a football team and have kits and footballs etc regulary in the boot.

I would like it to be more powerful then the existing car I have and my daily commute is 35km each way mainly on a regional road to work

I take a regular trip up North on the morotrway every 2/3 weeks.

Appreciate any advise on car suggestions from you guys.

TIA.

You will get a decent Octavia within your budget, they are available in both hatchback and estate. Boot is fairly big in both:

2.0 TDi will be plenty quick too compared to your current Mondeo.

Thanks Bazz I have been looking at Superbs and Octavia funnily enough.

Do I drive enough to warrant a diesel ?

70km daily probably puts you in the zone of either but your choice in diesel will be better. I wouldn't envision any issues with diesel for that sort of usage.

You could look at the Renault Megane estate too if you would prefer a slightly newer car:

A VW Passat boot will take the balls, kit and and half the team if needs be.
