Hello together, I will have to commute a lot for my master’s thesis starting in October and look for a suitable car, which is inexpensive in maintenance and offers a certain comfort. Here a few details: – Pendulum distance: 40km daily + 700km on weekends – On weekends I would like to take 3 passengers with me. So there should also be a bit of space in the second row and in the trunk. – Travel speed on the highway: 140-160, which should be reasonably comfortable – I would like a n Cruises and air conditioning – reliable – inexpensive maintenance – maximum price: 700€. It may also be much more comfortable – small loss of value (possibly after half a year to sell again) – the car should not be ugly ;-). However, this is anyway a taste and of you bad to assess With my driving profile I have of course quickly landed with a diesel. There due to the good price-performance ratio at Astra H and Focus II Kombi Diesel. All rdings one reads about the Focus Diesel very much bad. Furthermore, for me also an LPG vehicle would be interesting, but many newer engines of Astra, Focus and co. do not seem to be “gas-proof”. –> Problems with valves, engine seals … Since one often reads about problems with the two-mass swing wheel on the Astra (it is very difficult to assess how likely a defect is), I am no longer so sure that the Astra is really such a good choice. whether you can confirm me in my decision or perhaps have quite different, much better suggestions for me. Thank you very much for your help in advance.
