Hello dear Com, I love to have been with certain manufacturers and models for a long time… Would like to know your opinion about it… Vorab..the models from the VAG Group should be all the current (from BHJ 2013, timing belts ) and have at least the 1.4 liters , 122 Ps….Budget max 16 k – 17 k Let’s stay with VAG: – Golf 7 – Audi A3 – Seat Leon I’m not talking about subjective statements about the appearance or the cockpit, but experiences about quality , driving feeling , or ev I’m driving an old 1.6 liter vacuum cleaner with 102 Ps at the moment 😉 My experience is that the Golf 7 and the Seat Leon don’t take much of the price when searching…this is why I tend to go to the Golf….but the A3 is also partly “favorable” to get… Alternatively, the new Astra K and the new Mazda 3 would still be a good option for me…but this is with my a bit difficult…despite the great feedback on these 2 cars… In advance I would like to thank you for your answers… Greeting Synthomesc
