What small diesel car would you recommend from 2008?

Filed under: choosing used car

The question

What would be the best diesel cars to buy? I'm looking at 2008 and not a big car. We have a 2003 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI so it would ideally be 1.4 to 1.6 in diesel really.

Thanks

Hi Noel,

There's a lot of choice out there within those restrictions and you've not given us your budget, so we'll give you a list of the cars we think are worth looking at to start with and you can come back to us if you'd like help narrowing the search:

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Hyundai i30 1.6 diesel Kia cee'd 1.6 diesel Mazda3 1.6 diesel Nissan Note 1.5 diesel Nissan Qashqai 1.5 diesel Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi Toyota Auris 1.4 D4-D

The Volkswagen Polo and Golf and the Skoda Octavia are other considerations, though the 1.6 TDI engine was not introduced until 2010.

Let us know what you think
