Our answer:
Hi Bernard,
The only issue is that your petrol engine choice is very limited in that price bracket right now. Possibly your best option might be a Toyota Avensis 1.6 Valvematic, which is very refined, ultra-reliable and frugal, but not especially interesting. If you fancy something a bit more ‘premium’ then the only options are to go for a diesel or to try and increase the budget a bit and get into a hybrid Lexus IS 300h.
