You know, for the rational car enthusiast.
Joffrey is a pretty rational car buyer. “Target is my next car as my current up to the two ton to drive, and what news to search. Depending on the mileage at purchase, so he would be 10 years+ should be able to go.” For anyone who already has taken into account, the Joffrey does not drive as much, approximately 8000 km per year.
Current car:Peugeot 206 1.6 16v XS
Sale/lease: Sale
Business/private: private
Budget:€ 15.000
Annual mileage:approx. 8000 km
Brandstofvoorkeur:Gasoline
Reason for purchase:replacement of current car
Family composition:Two adults (but girlfriend has own car)
Preferred brands/models:-C-Segment
-Giulietta, doubt about reliability/rattles, but what a beautiful thing
-DS4, yet very expensive
-Megane Coupe 1.4 tce, drunk petrol? little space
No-go models:-Volkswagen Golf
-Dacia
The budget amounts to 15,000 euro and why it seeks our reader “a sporty, reliable car with sufficient storage space that I have to winter drive. And if it can smoothly.” At the voorkeursmodellen we find the Giulietta, DS4 and Megane Coupe 1.4 tCe. That at last asks Joffrey wondering if this gasoline drunk. Do you want an honest answer Joffrey?
There you should be at 8000 km per year is not too busy to make. At 1:15 on average and a fuel price of 1.45 euro per liter, you come out to 773 euros of fuel per year. Row you get a smoother bake with a heavier right foot and you score 1:10? Then you do the 1160 euros in fuel per year. That is a difference of 387 euros, and before that I would a less fuel-efficient, but faster and nicer car. Well, Joffrey has himself for two and a half nice options, we do have six duitjes in the bag.
Das Auto: The Volkswagen Scirocco
A suggestion of collegabloggert @casperh, who adds that the 1.4 TSI is the best links you can get. Of course, the 2.0 TFSI (driving test) is much more fun, but also a lot rarer. In addition, the 2.0 TFSI-blocks are not particularly well known as hassle-free. So Check for sure whether there are any problems with oil consumption or that the car is already overhauled, preferably with improved pistons. On check spoken, our used car-advice you will find here. Serious interest? Check therefore definitely take the range in our eastern neighbours.
The stuurmansauto: Ford Focus ST
A great driving Ford Focus (used car-advice) with a five cylinder turbo from a Volvo, see the recipe for the Focus ST of the previous generation. This beautiful orange specimen fits with 123.500 reasonable within the aim to be in ten years to the two ton to drive and the 4500 mille you will save on purchase, you can over the years to provide the drinkbehoefte of the Swedish block. About ten years undoubtedly already a respected youngtimer and when well maintained would you just agree a little on this big rascal can write off.
The anonymous Swede: Volvo V50 T5
The same powertrain as the above-mentioned Focus ST, but wrapped in a more subtle carriage. Unless you just like the cameraman @martijngizmo, of course, goes wild on R-design rims, lowering and the necessary upgrades so you suddenly get 300 instead of the standard 230 hp. We can you with regard to the reliability, however, not to recommend… Standard is such a V50, however, a very solid car. Check the used car-video!
The achterwielaandrijver: BMW 130i
Not only Casper is doing a coin in the bag, also @Wouter makes a coin in the bag. A better penny, even to me, because with a 130i (used car-advice) about your chiseled. The offer is not large, and for an instance with relatively few miles of 80-120k you will find the limits of your budget should search, but you do get something in return. 265 horsepower at the rear wheels to be precise. Also for the 1-Series, a copy import from Germany, and wages. Certainly, because the supply there is also a lot bigger.
The Oriental outsider: Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 Sport
Oh yes, that was still there! He is actually a size larger than a C-segmenter, but sometimes you have to indulge yourself. Suzuki gave the Kizashi, between september 2010 and January 2015 and many copies were never sold. The reason for this? A starting price of 30 mille for a Suzuki and only one available engine, a 2.4 petrol 178 hp. Not a very economical engine, and therefore the business driver is not interesting. For you, it is good looking. The offer is not large, and many of those cars are outside budget. There are some that are within the requirements, so it is possible. In addition, this typical of these cars that have a lot to with things. The odometer readings are really low, the equipment will always be more than complete.
