Hey, I currently drive a 2015 SEAT Alhambra 2.0 TDI LE Lux. Approx 100k miles, FSH.
I rate it highly (comfortable, practical, well good spec etc). But my usage has changed.
Current use:
- 1000 miles per month
- 45-mile round trip work commute
- 95% solo driving
- £200+ per month on diesel
We no longer need 7 seats and very rarely travel as a family of five now.
My plan is to sell Alhambra (£8k minimum hopefully) and buy something for £8-9k cash. I would want to run it for 2-3 years and reduce my fuel / tax / insurance.
Requirements:
- 5 doors
- Enough space for 4–5 occasionally
- More economical than current car
- Reliable for 2–3 years
- Not completely dull
QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
1. If you had £8-9k budget and my usage, what would you buy and why?
2. Avoid diesel altogether and go petrol for this mileage?
Cheers.
