With €4,000 what will I upgrade my Peugeot 206 CC to?

Hi, I have a 2002 Peugeot 206 CC, which I love but need a slightly bigger car. I am looking at a 2006 Peugeot 207 CC at €4,000 with low mileage (22,000 kilometres). Is this a good car to change to? Alternatively a small SUV would be good, but my max budget is €4,000. What do you think?

Many thanks!

Which insurable starter car should I go for with €3,000?

Hi, I have about €3,000 to spend on a starter car. Most of my driving would be on the weekends sight-seeing. Insurance would be a factor with the engine size. The 1.4 petrol Golf seems to the most reasonable with insurance.

Thanks
