Hello, have been driving an old dinosaur name Mercedes C180 W202 year 95. The car eats fuel and is too expensive for me in insurance, taxes and repair costs. Is a younger compacter like Golf 5, 6, or 7 with more/equal performance in all matters cheaper in the maintenance (in the individual points)? Petrol I am looking for a slightly younger used up to approx. 6 thousand euros. Pain limit 8 thousand euros. Absolute death limit 10 thousanduro. I am thinking: If a Golf 5 or 6 is cheaper in the maintenance, then I would like to have one like that. If a younger BMW 3 or a younger C class does not cost much more in the maintenance, I would prefer the cars. What do you say?
