I am just wondering what people drive and what they would recommend? I have a budget of around £5000 and I want something which can get me at least 300 miles a week the more the better.

It needs to look quite sporty but doesn’t have to be massive sized engine

Something like a newer ford focus could do the job . I used to own one and it was always pretty reliable, I know that the newer models are pretty sporty as well so it could fit the bill!

I drive a Peugeot 207S. Fortunately, I took out the extended warranty, as it has not been without its problems.

We traded in the missus's A3 recently, that looked pretty sporty and did a million miles to the gallon. Was the last of the older VW/Audi 1.9TDI's which is a superb engine. Pokey in a smaller car and pretty economical.

Maybe an older A3. Although similar size physically, boots a lot smaller than the golf, so depends what's important.

Was going to see what A3 £5k gets you on autotrader, but oh dear, they have an outage!!

I have thought about an Audi but they are allot more to insure and just the same engine as the VW and the Skoda so not sure and the price is higher so I could get more for my money if I went with VW
