Posted March 28, 201510 yr I currently have a 2004 Focus C-Max. The main thing I like about it is that; I'm over 6ft tall and still feel like I have enough room to swing a cat. Knee to steering wheel clearance whilst getting in & out is important to me. I also have toddlers in car seats, so I need 5 doors / decent rear seat room.Ideally I want something smaller overall, but not where it matters (see above) & more comfortable. Petrol preferred because diesel is toss & carcinogenic. I've been looking at Hyundai IX20's, does anyone have any other suggestions? I'd be buying used, up to 5yr old, preferably less than £7k but might stretch up to absolute max £10k for the right beast.
March 28, 201510 yr Drive my parents 2011 Focus, Diesel. Super comfy even for me at over 6ft, would reccomend. If I were to be buying a car tomorrow would probably be Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce.

March 30, 201510 yr Ours is a diesel but still has the acceleration to get up to the speed limit and go no further ever
March 30, 201510 yr have you thought of the Dacia range of cars, its a Renault all but badge, try the 1.5dci which is a decent engine.

March 30, 201510 yr No way. My watches will keep their value and the car would be worth nothing in a decade or two.

March 30, 201510 yr Author One thing Trekkie and I have in common (as well as Ford Focuses of course) both our avatars passed away this year!
March 30, 201510 yr I changed mine as a mark of respect. I believe yours is old.i haven't ruled out a focus, I just fancy something different.
March 30, 201510 yr VW Golf turbo diesel, convertible, just got it last month, should last me the next 10-15 years, invest in a golf trekkie they go forever.
April 1, 201510 yr you certainly would do that with a Ford.best car for driving without loving the badge is a Skoda Octavia, they age well hence taxi's on masse
