I have up to €4,000 to spend on a reliable motor...

Hi lads. I'm looking for a reliable motor. I've €3-€4,000 to spend and was thinking of the following: Mazda6, Toyota Avensis or perhaps Skoda Octavia. I do 12,000-15,000 miles per year. What's your advice?

Thanks

Hi Justin,

Go for the Mazda - really high quality and utterly lovely to drive (far more so than the other two) and ultra-reliable. There are lots out there so shop around to find one that's been really well cared for.
