I may be looking for a used car to run/keep in the vicinity of Melbourne, Australia.
I'd be hoping to find something 5-6 years old, around 50-60,000km on the clock tops. Family hatchback sized (or saloon, which I'd actually prefer). Manual or auto. Inevitably petrol-powered.
The ranked shortlist I can come up with so far is:
1) Mitsubishi Lancer
2) Hyundai: i30 or Elantra
3) Kia Rio - current shape 5-door
4) Toyota Corolla - probably commands a higher price because of perceived invincibility of Toyota in these parts...
5) Ford Focus - but scared off by Powershift Gearbox. (Then again so is everybody else in Australia it seems, so they might be going cheap...)
Input welcome as to which of the above might be best/most reliable etc.
Or feel free to come up with alternatives.
Thanks!
