Need your help I have to choose a solution right now. I have a Ford Focus from 1999 and I am really satisfied with it. He had a few kilometers, was absolutely checkbook maintained and is a great family car. Now I have a new job in Berlin Mitte for a few weeks. Then I rented an underground car park for 99 euros / monthly. Don’t stay out because parking at Alex is somehow expensive and almost impossible for free. By train is by the inflexibility no option. I pay almost 70 euros for the car at the ADAC car insurance per month. And by the new work I have to refuel twice a week, whereby I am such a sticky tanker. So always 10 liters. Nevertheless, this is the month around 160 euros to 200 euros for petrol. I am now superior to how I get out of it cheaply, because of course I am not a big earner, but only working in the digital team of Amazon. What would you recommend? 1) Sell a car and Neuwag Buy. Ggf Diesel or even with less consumption. 2) Low fuel small car like Smart as second car or 3) Gas retrofit. So a gas system in the car I really want to have the cheapest and no longer have to fill up so often. Not with fuel prices. Any idea for me?

Hi people, a new chapter in my career is due in February. For this new task I am looking for a car that offers a lot of space and is “favorable” in the maintenance. It is important that the vehicle does not exceed a monthly leasing rate of 450€ at 40tkm/year. My absolute favorite is the VW Amarok Canyon, but the fuel consumption alone is the best criterion a SUV should be anyway, since with frequent motorway rides the higher seating m .M.n is much more comfortable. After a long research, a few vehicles have made it into the narrow selection (also combos):SUV: VW Tiguan, MINI Countryman, BMW X1 & Volvo xc60 Combi: BMW 3er Touring, VW Golf Variant & Seat Leon ST Allesamt fit into the budget, fit from fuel consumption (diesel should be) and I think I offer enough space in the trunk with flat loading area with folded seats. Now I wanted to know what in your opinion would be the best car, in which I will be the next 3 years Happy through Southern Germany curve. Of course you can also bring suggestions with you… Thanks for your help, Bene

Hello! I have to choose one of the two cars from the company. Budget approx. 40,000 euros. (Diesel) I’m quite honest: I don’t like either of the two cars, the BMW is super tight from the inside and the image is rather wrong. The passat is for me the un-car par excellence, almost as bad as the golf, I don’t even care about cars you buy a passat. Absolutely nothing. In addition, it becomes a diesel, which for me as a hybrid driver about a step back into the Steinzeit corresponds. So I like both cars equally little and therefore I would like to ask you for advice which pure of the bid is the better car. I also know that neither VW nor BMW are particularly reliable. Our company cars are always in the workshop. But fortunately, I don’t need to worry about that. Therefore, regardless of taste and quality. What can the BMW not do and vice versa? I am happy to be convinced. Thank you!

My mom is looking for a new car. Should be more like a new car. MA brother gets a child and that should also find space there including prams etc. She first came to the Renault Kangoo because of the doors behind. But I find this thing ugly. What do you say to a B-Max ? What does it look like in a combo regarding the place ? Fabia Comci or Focus Tournament ? Skoda Roomstar ?

Hi guys, at first I wanted to buy a small car and kept looking at the Twingo because I had set the budget at 2,000 EUR. However, for the money it will be really hard to get what ‘shit’ as I notice. Therefore I would like to use my budget of 4,000 EUR as follows, my requirements are the following: – no coupé or convertible, should definitely be 4/5 doors – I don’t care whether petrol or diesel, mainly city consumption is less than 8l and combo less than 7. I s However, it will probably be better to be a petrol engine, because I certainly do not drive more than 12,000km a year and mostly in the city or near surroundings. That probably speaks for a petrol engine, doesn’t it? I would like the torque of a diesel with turbo better. It should consume as little as possible, but still have a passageway, I should be able to drive on the highway at least 160km/h, and at 130 I should still be able to overtake – preferably no small car, so that 4 In any case, I should be able to accommodate two children on the back seat, and in the trunk a stroller + accessories without any problems. With a Twingo this will be a bit difficult, I thought about the size of a Seat Leon or Ford Focus? But can also be bigger, I have nothing against a limousine or a car. – he should definitely have ABS, el.FH, servo, ZV, airbags in front and if possible ESP. – it would be possible to store luggage. If he was not older than 10 years (from 2003) and had less than 100,000km on the hump. – green badge he should preferably have – as far as possible no expensive brands, so that the repair or service costs are not high. Is not in the budget anyway, but I exclude with it: Daimler, BMW, and also other ‘exotes’. Therefore, does not necessarily want a Saab. Which models could you recommend to me on the basis of these criteria? Would this focus be something for me or is that a no-go? With spritmonitor indicating an average consumption of 8.5l for this vehicle, and not as stated 5l (that would be too nice to be true). Look forward to your opinions and thank me very much in advance.

Hello. I’m new to the forum – I’ve looked around a bit but found no such correct answer to my question. We are in the selection phase for a new (family) car and have come via the Cirtoen C4 Picasso to the Ford C-Max and now to the Focus combo (in the Champions Edition). Everything rather annual car, offered by the dealer. By saving and the insurance sum for our total damage, we currently have about 16,000 available. Before in another family a room was available. But we don’t really get to the Ford, even though we can pay the sum immediately. Sometimes 300-400€ but that’s what I mean. Even with the cars before, there was never really much to get. What is this about? Can I suddenly negotiate worse than before? Or have times changed like this? I’m confused … Thank you, Nobu

Hello, I am currently driving a 50hp Polo 3 door. In itself a great car…but I have family with 2 children, so now a bigger one has to come. My biggest problem is, however, that I don’t want to spend much (max. 3000 Euro). I want to drive the car as a transition for the next 2 max. 3-4 years and then get something newer. I have 2 offers at present: Passat 1.6 petrol year 1999 190,000 km for 1900 Euro and Passat 2.3 V5 year 1998 180.000 km for 2400 Euro both TrÜV new. d the former has the problem, that in a few places the clear varnish breaks down a bit, but would be a purely optical flaw. The rest is fine. The second one I would probably access, but the fuel consumption should be rather high. Now I can master myself quite well while driving and also do not have to board the highway with 180 kmh. My driving performance at the moment is 10,000 km/year. What would you recommend to me and what do you think there are for alternatives? Thank you. mfG, Hansi

Hello dear forum, I have been reading with you for some time and have decided to ask the experts here in the forum for advice. I would like to buy a car in the small car to Komaktbereich. I don’t care about brand as long as it is a good car (where I prefer German cars). I drive under 10,000 km a year, would like to have at least 100 hp +-, as much equipment as possible and as little driven KM as possible. Basically I’m more a comfort person, but over an agile Fah I would be happy to overtake it sometimes. I drive 80% in the city and sometimes motorway to get to the next bigger city ( 20-40 KM). Then it would be important to me that in the first years there is no damage to the vehicle. Is certainly always a bit difficult for used cars but tend to the car should not be so vulnerable to damage. Ultimately, the maintenance of the vehicle should not blow up the frame either. . Cars I like are 1.2 Golf VI or a new Polo. I also like the new Seat Ibiza or the New Beetle. But I am grateful for any kind of suggestion. If you need more information, just ask. Greetings Marco

Hello together, I need some suggestions and ideas about my next car, as my current one will probably not be part of the next TÜV anymore. My situation is this: I drive about 2000 km each month, 45 km each in the morning and in the evening, mainly motorway. The new one doesn’t have to be a racing car, but you should be able to drive 140 times, without having to understand your own word or drink the box tons. I pay at the moment about 200 € for fuel (E10) each the month. At the moment I drive my good old Daihatsu Charade from 1996, who still provides me with faithful services, but for my purposes so over time brings a few disadvantages: on the one hand the bad noise attenuation – that is already annoying as a frequent driver at some point, and on the other hand this is the missing sixth gear or another translation. If I drive around the 120 at the moment, then the box hums quite high at almost 5000 revolutions, that is certainly not wirkli I have about 5000 € at my disposal and therefore I am looking for a car with which I can drive my routes cheaply, as quiet as possible and of course also safely, so it is best that something low-maintenance with affordable spare parts. With the design I am quite open, I like combos, but I don’t want to set myself up. A little more space than in the Charade would be not bad, but is not a must. I hope you can help me with the preselection, as I simply I don’t have enough experience to simply search for “no problem”. I don’t think I can hurt a bit of the system 😉 So thank you for your tips and considerations!

Hello dear community, I have been the owner of a Hyundai Getz for 3 years now: -EZ: 06/2008 -Diesel -88 PS -90000 km -I bought it with 20000 km down Short of what bothers me about the car. Before the car drove in the 3 years up to failures in winter, largely error-free. But this is probably the case with all diesels, if I lie wrongly correct me please. Positively I would like to note this with the 88 hp and the low weight of the cars just in the n The reason for my trouble is in the processing and at the engine noise. If I tried to drive in 4 and 5 gears “sparably” i.e. easily under 1500 revolutions (especially 1000-1500 revolutions), the engine started to ratter/nag quite loudly (from start on). In combination with the ever more clattering plastic interior, it is an unstoppable noise for me in the long run. Various passengers said this would be normal. I have already driven another Getz and have had the same experience. Which is why I want a new one. I have had it advertised at a used car dealer and there was now a customer. Why I look around for a new car. As a transition I drive our old WG car. But I need a new one as soon as possible. To my requirements: – I drive 2x 30 km + weekly 100 km in addition – monthly I drive an additional 600 km of motorway on average – in the year I come to about 30 tkm why I want to look for a diesel again – for my Getz I get approx. 4500 € my budget for the new car loves at approx. 6000 Euro – the car should last another 3 years then I want to get a new car over my employer – size: like the “old” or a step bigger, still bigger please do not live in a WG in the city center with few parking spaces – Important!: would be a more economical and as it is possible in the budget, a well-processed car – I don’t care about design and age At this point already many thanks! mfg Nils
