Steven changed jobs and per week he rides instead of 300 miles and now the double. Time to its old Focus on petrol to swap for a diesel. For the sake of the entry-level want the two-meter-long, Steven, like a two – or driedeurs car, preferably with a little spice.
A diesel with a relatively limited budget and a little spice, then you will have higher mileages do not fear. Fortunately is that many modern cars also no big problem. Itself does Steven no claim on the mileage, but since he himself is also quite a lot of meters, we will limit ourselves to cars with less than two tonnes of experience.

A little spice is, incidentally, relatively, as Steven indicates easy the 140 kilometers per hour want to be able to pick up. That is even with the modern spaardiesels all, not a very big problem anymore, but we will, for convenience, restrict to the bigger and more powerful diesels. That connect, the Ford Fiesta, in advance, already out, already know also the 1.6 TDCi with 95 hp, the best council with the small hatchback. A driedeurs Focus of the previous generation with a diesel engine is just as rare as a nice Dutch summer, not for nothing is the current Focus with only a minimum of four doors available. Something which is indeed true for more compact and medium cars such as the Leon, Octavia, 308, etc. Yet we have five sensible or fun (read: less sensible) options can be found:
Wise: Volkswagen Golf V 1.9 TDI
Ripples Diesel, there are enough, already have the five door models the absolute upper hand. Within the budget you have a Golf VI, but then you have either a not-too-smooth 1.6 TDI or a 2.0 TDI with more than two tons of experience. To the Golf the really sensible choice, you’re better off looking for a neat Golf V with less kilometers behind the to choose from and the tried and tested 1.9 TDI under the hood. Which by the way is for the Golf VI applies, also for the Audi A3 where: the at first sight attractive specimens often have gigantic high mileage and are generally not for nothing relatively affordable.
Timeless: MINI Cooper D
Just like you people apparently have an iPhone 1, you can give and they can believe that the iPhone 6S, you will do that with the MINI succeed. With a Cooper D of the second-generation drive, you are not in the least old-fashioned. A beautiful Cooper D will be the limit of your budget require it, but the odometer readings are, on average, lower than in, for example, the above-mentioned VAG products. Compared to the other mentioned cars is a relatively small (1.6) diesel with only 112 hp. Opposite to this, is that the MINI is also smaller and lighter than the other options mentioned, and in terms of performance, so little reason to be jealous. You’re still within the ten seconds on the hundred, and can be up to almost 200 km/h.
With the heart: Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 GTD
You’re only a true car enthusiast if you ever have a time a Alfa Romeo have had. A hard-hitting cliché of course, but for a large group of car enthusiasts will certainly true. As Steven Alfa Romeo as one of his preferred brands calls, will he ever be believed. With 150 hp rap was, and what I, the undersigned, are concerned at least as timeless as the MINI. Yes, it is an Alpha, but it is certainly not really bad or unreliable car. Just the points of attention for check in and then enjoy.
Sporty: BMW 320 Cd (E46)
A late BMW 3 Series (E46) remains a stunning car, especially as a coupe, despite the fact that the age of him in the meantime is good to see. There are a few nice 320 Cd’s to purchase, and that tweeliterblok delivers 150 hp. Combine that with the good handling characteristics of the E46 and you have a fine maniac. That have a lot of previous owners, mileage eating, so you will have to do some searching for a fresh copy, preferably with less than two tons on the counter. If you select this option it is seriously considering, please also be sure to go to the offer at our eastern neighbours.
Exclusive: Renault Avantime 2.2 dCi
Actually, it would Autoblog-Advice should have been to with a large bow to the Avantime. But if you really wish to get fancy, then this is your best option. In addition, the huge and double-gescharnierde doors to a spacious entry that no other car can offer you. The 2.2 dCi block (of Nissan) is not a bad block, but the turbos and intercoolers are sensitive. A pre-purchase check by a specialist is not an unnecessary luxury, though to a lesser extent, for all the mentioned cars. Oh, and an Avantime is heavy, so check beforehand whether you have enough saved up to have the road tax to pay…
