Best car for up to 5k

Not a lot of room in the Fabia, it's about the same as a Polo. More room than most cars in it's class, if you go racing on your own you'll be fine. They are pretty nippy aswell and easily return 40+ mpg. Awesome value for money and they hold the VRS model holds it money fairly well.

I think the Fabia will be to small for you Shove.

Nor do you read Mr. Timberlake

Try getting that spec. Audi A3 for "up to 5k" - not likely given that you received yours just as that engine entered circulation, which was barely a year ago.

Surely if I don't pay for it Mr Duncombe, it's under 5K!!!!!

Go crazy an get yourself an Alfa Romeo 147 / 156 / Spider / GTV.
Also the diesel engines aren't that bad.

And most importantly they're more fun to drive than a Volkswagen

Yeah, but it will barely last 20 minutes... LOL

If you get a well serviced one, you've got less problems than with a Golf.
I've got an GTV as a daily driver now for 3 years - the only thing I had to change was the exhaust to stainless

Alfa's are seriously over rated. All I can say, is the salemen must go through plenty of Horlicks.

5k might get a 52 plate VW?
Sounds bloody expensive to me.

5K WILL get a nice 56 plate mondeo tdci.

Try changing it for another car, it'll be worth two gold fish & a toffee apple, on a good day! If you want something that still has a value when you come to change it how about a VW Golf GTDi 150bhp, pretty quick for an oil burner and good fuel consumption.
