Just wondering if anyone has any advice on a good middle sized car. I trade my car in every 3 years and will be trading in again next month. I have had a 1.4 Golf comfortline for the past few years and the last time I traded in, I had to pay €7k along with my own which was 3 years old at the time. This time around, the garage are looking for €10k along with my own. They initially asked for €10.5k until I seemed alarmed and so he knocked off the €500! I'm not really willing to pay the €10k for another Golf. While I really like the car, I'm not too keen on the girly look the new model has, plus you pay over the odds for any extras. Does anyone have any opinions on the new Focus or on the Mazda 3? I love the Mazda 6 but you can only get it in a 1.8, which I'm not intersted in.
