Good day dear reader, I have long thought if I should start a thread here, stick a little in the Zwickmühle! Currently I drive (30 years old and male) a Kia Ceed 1.6, diesel, automatic, 115hp, BJ09. I share the car with my wife and that must change. We are too dependent on each other, as I usually drive them to their job first and then to mine. This creates a detour of 15 km every day! As we approach the child’s wish next year, sol l it definitely become a chic combo. So the plan is a combo, budget is 10,000€, less would be nicer and more expensive not necessarily but if there is better for the money (+/- 1000€). Automatic, PDC, xenon light, gasoline, modern look and at least 140hp it should already be. Favorite brands are Audi, VW and BMW, please not more than 150,000km, a 2 litre machine and I like to ride a little bit sporty (all without a woman!). 0km, I drive daily highway/city and some highway (40/40/20). I live in Berlin (10115) and am ready to travel for the new car 200-300km! Have had some offers on site at dealers the last few days but mostly it failed to have a good feeling with the car related to the price and the seller. Mostly only Turkish seller. Would look forward to tips, so what I have to pay attention to, which models are recommended etc. Thank you and have a nice weekend you??
