Hello I’m just thinking about buying a ‘new’ car. At the moment I’m driving a Seat Ibiza 6l 1.4 16V with 75hp, built in ’04 and almost 90,000km. Basically I’m not even dissatisfied with the car… except that it’s a little undermotorized. It’s just not fun to have to switch to the hill in the 3rd to keep the speed. And my track has a few hills…apart from the fact that the engine doesn’t have a lot of passage on the straight. t I have a mileage of approx. 2200-2300km monthly. A diesel could make sense. However, I have the hope to be able to push the mileage to 10,000km/year in the middle of the future. That’s where it is critical with the diesel again. I would like a TDI from the force development in principle better than a petrol engine…I find passage from below more pleasant than having to turn the engine up far. So far I would have considered the spectrum between G olf V/Audi A3, Seat Leon, Skoda Fabia/Oktavia and Opel Astra respectively Ford Focus. Pretty and amazingly cheap in insurance and purchase is the Alfa 147, however, the sprithunger of 8l scares me… How does it do in terms of durability/service costs? A short google search resulted in unpleasantly many articles, in which it was described as quite vulnerable… What is there for alternative with moderate running costs? Which of the above would you recommend to me? For my n Ibiza I pay 400€ insurance + 100€ tax per year, only once as an indication. Euro 4 and green badge are mandatory. Greetings Alex
