Which car should I go for with €10,000 to spend?

Hi, I'm looking for a car around the €10,000 mark that is an 08 or newer and I am liking the likes of Passat, Fluence, Avensis, etc. I would like my running costs to be relatively low.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Our answer:

Hi Ronan,

The Fluence would be cheap to run and to buy but you need to watch the depreciation. It's also smaller than the other two. The Avensis is a good solid workhorse but if low running costs is the key factor then seek out a Passat BlueMotion 1.6 TDI - you'll get well over  1,100km on a single tank.
