Hello MotorTalker and thank you very much for your answers. I am now 30 years old and have finally caught up with my driver’s license. Now, of course, the first car I’m looking for in the small car segment for insurance and maintenance costs. My budget is about € 8.000. My driving profile: – During the week only short distances from and to work (about 10 km of city traffic per trip). – Weekends also sometimes longer distance highway and highway. – Approximately 1x a month long distance from 500km back and forth – Overall I leave from 20-25k a yearMy selection: I thought of small cars like the Skoda Fabia, Opel Corsa or Mitsubishi Space Star (important here are also 5 doors). Low performance I see as less critical, since I am really no lead foot and am completely satisfied with 130 on the highway. Examples:Skoda FabiaMitsubishi Space StarOpel Corsa As an alternative I also found an A3, which probably costs so 40euro more in the insurance, but a Audi A3 conclusion: Overall, it is important to me that the car is running reliably and that I get rid of it after just under 4 years at a decent price. Therefore, I first concentrated on cars with low KM. The Audi is an exception which of course also smiles at me. However, at 8 years he has run significantly older than the alternatives and also significantly more. Well, if there is still more information please follow harken, is my first car purchase and I am grateful for every tip! LG
