I need a reliable car for €8,000.
I drive a lot for work, need a new car that's reliable and fuel efficient. I drive in the city, on the M50 every day, and do long journeys. Currently have a Peugeot and it's causing me problem after problem. Budget around €8,000. What make would you recommend?
Our answer:
Hi Kay,
If you want reliability, go Japanese (or Korean). Get yourself a Toyota, a Honda, a Kia or a Hyundai.
