I need a good commuter car...
I am looking for some recommendations for good commuter cars. I drive from Limerick to Galway 5 days a week (1000 km per week). I am looking for a relatively new used car, 2012 - 2015 where the price and value are balanced. Please tell me which cars I should be considering. Thanks so much!
Our answer:
Hi Maura,
It depends on your budget, but I’d suggest you need something comfy, compact, reliable and frugal, so have a look for a Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI, a Honda Civic (either 2.2 or 1.6 i-CDTi) or a Toyota Auris 1.4 D-4D.
