Hyundai i30 or Opel Astra?
Hello, I am looking for a small economical car to run and tax; I was looking at the Opel Astra CDTi Elite 1.3 diesel or Hyundai i30 1.3 diesel. I would be looking to buy 2008 versions of either. Which car in your opinion is better, or have any other suggestions?
Thank you

We have €3,500 plus an 01 Clio to sell or trade in.
Hey, just looking for advice for buying a used car. I'm looking to get something for a new family (expecting in four months). We have €3,500 plus an 2001 Clio to sell or trade in. Needs to be 1.4 or 1.6 and would prefer something 2005 upwards. We're not picky just confused on what to get so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks :)
