My son is looking at cars at the moment and he seems to be going for a Renault Megane 1.5 diesel. He got a quote of €14,750 on the road which includes metallic paint. He has test driven quite a few including Polo but says the Megane great value.
Got quoted €11.750 for new Seat Ibiza 1.2 5dr- scrappage...all in, metalic paint etc.
Will look at Renault, but i have has 2 Ibizas and always good to me. I do 11k mileage ,so felt diesel option wasn't worth it would be 14.5 kish for 1.4 Ibiza diesel.
