I am looking for a car that's between three and four years old.

Hi - I am looking for a car that's between three and four years old that is less than €15K that is low cost to maintain and service. I would like a diesel that gets good fuel economy and is suitable for driving 150km round trip on a daily basis.

Our answer:

Hi Brenda,

Well, with that kind of budget, the world is your oyster. Have a look at a Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI, Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI (same car under the skin but the Skoda is roomier), Toyota Auris 1.4 D-4D or a Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (don’t be put off by the big engine – it’s frugal and not expensive to tax).
