So my current motor my joyful alfa mito 155bhp on a 09 plates in now in need of urgent change. Its go 83500 miles on the clock and it needs to go before there is no value left in it. I need a new motor but I need something bigger with 5 doors but it cannot be too big as the other half won't drive it. So i've tried a couple to start with but if any one wants to chip in with any suggestions I would be happy to listen. Budget 14k including a 2k trade in for mine. I would like nav and bluetooth.
Tried.
Seat FR - 1.4 eco with auto dsg box, nice but feels small inside
Skoda octavia VRS - ok but noisey at high speeds.
Thinking of
Mazda 3 - seems big enough maybe but engines are a little old
No french cars - we have out reasons
Toyota - avensis not bad but a bit boring
Fords - focus seems right size but engines and dash seems old and dated.
