what practical car for around 5k?
Ok just sold Lindays MGF. Ive just gone into business so i dont want a lot of money tied in a car so we are looking at getting something for around 5k...
But what? Cant decide. Looks like maybe along the golf lines but would only get a nice 1.6S or something...or a focus???

Golf for me.
Bags more appeal, looks sporty, yet is acceptable to turn up to business appointments etc in.
The diesels will go forever, are renound for fuel economy and of course, they apparently respond well to a remap/chip for when needs must
