Hey guys.. Looking to buy a new car. Looking at under 200 k.

Must have these:

Save( abs , airbags etc)
Be a decent engine
Service plan
Be able to tow a trailer


Looked at these sofar:

Nissan juke
Kia soul
Kia rio
Polo ( least fav)


Any one have one of these to give advice or can advise another car?
 
Ford Fiesta
Hyundai Accent (The Koreans are very generous with their service plans and prices)
 
Kia Cerato or Hyundai Elantra

Kia Cerato or Hyundai i20 (might be a bit small depending on what you need).
 
For safest towing I would not look at hatchbacks. I'm not saying they can't tow, just saying bigger is better for towing. The more weight you have on the back wheels, the less likely it will be that the trailer will put the back out of shape.

Honda Ballade Elegance. Seriously. Go test drive one.

If you want to know anything let me know. I have one :D
 
I test drove the focus. While the ride was positively great, the inside just felt so cheap. As soon as I stepped into the Honda Ballade, I felt the quality. That's besides the fact the Honda gives you a full size spare while the Focus gives you a space saver. The Focus really gave me the impression that they cut corners everywhere they could. And I was looking at the Trend.

I agree the interior on the ambiente is crap but it still has the 92Kw, the trend on the other hand is awesome. Cant talk much for the ballade i will go look at one this weekend but i've been put off Honda since the I drove the jazz it feels really tinny and cheap.

Well it's the cheapest car honda has. That's like saying you don't like the Fortuner because the Yaris is Crap.

Oh and the Ballade is 88kw.
