    Consider the Toyota Aqua and Toyota Prius as well

    Out of those I’d take the Lexus, but as mentioned above give the Prius a look as well, I’d throw the Auris hybrid (second generation) and Nissan Leaf (depending on your requirements) into the mix too.

    Thanks a lot. It does not matter that Lexus is 2011 with 140K Kms while Fit is 100K and 2016.

    Both at 10K. Lexus 2011 Worth 10K?

    Thanks. Nice cars, I somehow do not like Aqua or Prius interiors.

    Thats fair enough, out of the cars you listed me personally I would probably go with the Lexus, but your getting an older car with higher mileage, so you need to weigh up weather you want something older with higher spec, or something newer with lower spec but less mileage and probably more reliable, lower running costs etc.

    I would stay away from the Fiesta and go for a hybrid

    140k is nothing. It’s 86000 miles in 10 years.

    Thanks, This is my first used car. I always bought new and being new in Ireland, not sure what to do. I would have preferred a new car but decent cars are at 30K plus.

    Lexus has all features like cruise, bluetooth, reversing camera.

    Fit is new thats all. Perhaps one or 2 extra features. But that is a Japanese import.


    Confused

    Thanks. As long as Hybrid battery can last, I'm fine. So it seems everyone prefers

    Lexus 2011 over Fit 2016 or Insight 2014.

    Helps me :-)

    Lexus. Or Auris hybrid. You’d probably get a 2013 new model within budget.

    Thanks. I guess will search. For Auris as well. Cannot locate Lexus 2013 under 13/14K.

    Yes, the Auris is a bit cheaper, being a Toyota, but mechanically it’s the same thing as the CT200 but with a bigger boot and a bit more space.
