If you were going to spend 8 grand what would you get?
To make it easier we wouldn't touch any French car,Italian.
It's probably going to be German or Asian.
Factors are
Reliability
Economy
Reliability
Looks
And yes
Reliability.
Top of our list is a BMW 3 series.
Thanks |

Mum's last motability car was a Peugeot 3008 diesel auto and it was awful to drive. Had terrible accelaration and felt like it was going to stall every time it changed gear.
Got the new car less than a month ago, a Skoda yeti and its fantastic. Still an automatic but a petrol engine. Not sure if its available in diesel. |

For that money you're in range for one of the cheaper end Honda civics. Look for the ones with the newer engine spec, monstrous fuel economy and it is a Honda do it'll never break |

"Jaguar xf 2 lt diesel
But aren't parts and service cost's through the roof?
Mmmm jaaaaaaggg"
My Jaguar was very cheap to run. Our local Jag dealership did fixed priced servicing that was great value.
I needed a 4x4, so now have a Ford Kuga.
Both very good cars. I miss the Jag though |

You could do a lot worse than a Skoda. Remember a lot of police forces and taxi drivers like them and they do high mileages and need reliability and comfort. |

Alfa 159 2.4 Sportronic (Q4 if you can find one).
Stunning looks, reliable and powerful engine and a Ferrari gearbox.
BMW auto gearboxes are shockingly unreliable. |
