Looking for a spacious diesel car for €15,000.
The question
Hi,
I'm looking for a diesel saloon as I do a lot of travelling. I bring quite a lot of equipment so it needs to have a large boot or it could be a car van? What would you recommend that's reliable and economical and reasonably smart looking? I have a budget of €15,000.
Thanks

Hi Aiden,
That’s a good-sized budget so you should be able to get a good-sized car. In terms of car-vans, the best ones are the Citroen Berlingo and the Volkswagen Caddy Life, but both are noisier than a conventional car, and less comfortable over long distances. With that in mind, I reckon you need an estate – have a look for a Mazda6 Tourer, Ford Mondeo Estate or Volkswagen Passat Estate – or keep an eye out for the best of breed, the Skoda Superb Combi. All are comfortable, roomy and have frugal diesel options.
