What car would you recommend?
Hi there. I am starting a new job in limerick and have moved to Co. Galway. I will have a 1 hour commute to and from work 5 days a week. And will visit family in cork and sligo some weekends. What car would you recommend around 10-12k ?
Our answer:
Hi Fiona,
It all depends on what you want. Hatchback? Saloon? SUV? The simplest (and I'll admit, laziest) answer is to say a Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI diesel as that does cover a lot of bases, but as I say, it all depends on what you want and what you need.
