Car got stolen, need to replace it! Suggestions please

Just thought about the Renault Clio too...
Not a bad car that. Don't like the turbo much though...

Not sure if it was the turbo or their double clutch system in the 1.2, but the one I drove had very bad lag. Manual is probably a very different story though.

Look for another Honda Ballade, or maybe a Jazz or Civic...

I am very happy with my Megane and I'm on my second. My family has had Renaults since 2001 and have not had any issues so I'd happily recommend a Megane or Clio too!

Mazda 2 or Ford Fiesta

Get an older Civic at around R150k if you can. The build quality is so much better than the Jazz and Ballade.

R150K? Why not get a Suzuki Swift, same Japanese reliability as the Honda, much lower risk of theft.

Well within budget.

Actually you can get a 2015 Honda Ballade. How about the Mazda2, Suzuki Ciaz, Suzuki Baleno, Opel Corsa, Renault Clio or Kia Rio, Kia Cerato?

Have joked about this at work yesterday and someone made a good point.
If you can get a Kuga with a certified repair, you might pull off a great buy (though you will have to keep the car for quite a while).

I will have no problem with that. They are excellent cars.
