Well I've had my granmobile a year now, Its getting close to its MOT tax and insurance (in the damn damn month cry: ) So i'm deciding to sell it, and buy a new car. I'm currently looking at either a:
whatever peugeot, french company that make ridiculous names. I can never spell it correctly.
But yeah, I was leaning towards the Focus, but I also love the astra. Still very undecided.
I have about 2.5k to spend, might be able to bump it up to 3k depending what I get for my Micra. It might all come down to insurance costs. The focus I was getting £1700-£2000 on insurance!!! Bear in mind it was a 1.6.
out of those three i would choose the vauxhall, although i really know nothing about any of those cars. the only one we have over here is the focus, and it's probably a little different from your version.
In and out that astra looks pretty good. you should pit the insurrance costs of each, and the value of each car against eachother to figure out which one you SHOULD buy instead of what you think you should buy.
