I have a VW Golf and never had a problem with it, it’s now 8 year old, I’m looking at giving it to my son in August and getting a new one - a VW Golf 1.5 (R line)


Grimsby and proud!

I have a 17 plate Merc CLA200, the best car I've ever driven. It's a company car so will get a chance to change it at the end of this year, maybe the beginning of next.
I might go for a BMW X1 plug-in hybrid next time.

When retirement was forced on me due to health reasons I decided on a Suzuki Celerio. Versatile boot and over 60mpg in town, got over 80mpg once doing economy driving back from Leeds. I don't spend much time in the car and average 5,000 miles a year, easy to park and does a good job for me. Had Suzuki's before and found them very reliable so I'd recommend one.

Most of our long journeys are done by train these days.

I currently have a Seat Ibiza FR. Excellent car, never had any problems with it and would thoroughly recommend. Previously had a Fiat, wouldn't touch them again with a bargepole!

I'm biased because I used to work for the VW group so if you're looking at an Audi, consider a Skoda or a Seat or a VW

They're all from the same stable and use the same components in production

Since I left there, I've mainly driven Fords ( Mondeo and Focus ) which I'm more than happy with

To me a car is all about getting from A to B so it's really whatever you're happy with....folk generally have some kind of brand preference but in reality most cars should suit most people.

It just depends on how much you are prepared to pay

One of the most important things when buying a car though, is to get one with working indicators.

It's amazing the amount of cars you see on the roads these days that don't have this basic function built in.
