What car should I buy for £6500?
I have a budget of around £6500 to buy a used car. I need something that is fun to drive everyday, reliable, nimble, cruiser on motorways and good mpg and tax.
So far I have looked at:
Honda Civic 1.8 ES 2006 with 71K miles for £4899
Mazda 3 sport 2.0 2006 ith 30K miles for £4700
Ford focus 1.8 tdi 2007 66k miles plate for £5600
Seat ibiza 1.4 tdi 2008 30K miles for £5000
What car do you think I should be looking at?

Forget the two diesels. I would say it's neck and neck between the Mazda 3 and the Honda. The Honda will probably prove to be the most economical. I got 45mpg out of a 2011 Civic 1.8iES.
