The mother in law needs a new car and I'm looking for recommendations
The budget is about €10k
It has to be
- hatchback
- automatic
- 2009 or newer
My current thoughts are
- vw golf
- vw polo
- fiat 500
- Peugeot 308
Looking forward to a few more suggestions please [emoji1]
I know its a bit over budget

Daysul or petrol ? http://cars.donedeal.ie/view/8938672
It has to be an auto as their driveway's steep but the type of juice doesn't matter
Cool, seen that about the box just threw up a model for an idea you do the hunt [emoji1]
Mazda 3 is a nice car
Here's a couple I found

500's suprisingly cheap thought they would be a little more looks to be good value
I was surprised by that too. Our little girl LOVES them and wants one (with pink bonnet stripes - she's 2!) so if grandma got one she'd be delirious!!!Quote:

Sure she dictates about half our purchases, she was trying to get me to buy a porsche 911 996 cabrio on Sunday as the roof disappears in the back!!Quote:

There are a few specialist auto dealers (on Carzone) that have low milage well specced autos for sale that should fit the bill.
Think I saw something about those 500's having difficulty on steep inclines, not sure if it was a recall.
Some of the newer seat Leon's are very good value and the later ones were loaded with extras to help sales.
Golf is always going to tick most of the boxes
The autobox in the 500s was described as a sewing machine to me recently so that's off the listQuote:

That's one of 3 cars she's currently looking at. The big prob seems to be there's not many automatic ones about.Quote:
