The question
Hi lads.. I'm looking for safety, diesel, reliability and spaciousness in a saloon car. Max to spend is €3,000. What do you recommend?
Thanks

Hi Justin,
Two best choices here would be a Mazda6 2.0 TD from around 2003 or a Ford Mondeo Zetec diesel of similar vintage. As long as they're in decent nick, reliability shouldn't be a problem (the Mazda will do better than the Ford but not perhaps by the margin you might be expecting) and both are safe and spacious.
What do you think?
