Recommend me a car

Chevron said:
So as some of you know I have a Honda CRZ and I love it.

Problem is it's not that practical, backseat wise, and within the next year I'm looking at getting a house.

So off I go looking at the Figo :sick:
Fiesta was maybe bearable.

Now that I'm used to leather I can't go back to all this plastic in the cheap crap cars.

So I want to try now look at something with a few more kms on it that I won't have to sacrifice so much.

Any suggestions?

I saw this for example:

Anything else you can recommend?

I still have my Kia Cerato.
5 years old now and it still like new inside and out and hasn't missed a beat so I can recommend the one in the link. It is very reliable and a lot of car for the money.
 
I have just purchased a 2003 Black Mercedes C200 Kompressor for R94,000. 87,000Km and every option included like the Bose audio system and sunroof. I am not quite sure why anybody would buy something like a Figo, drove one once and will never look at it again.

Nice. Price seems a little steep, dealership?
 
If I had the money I would have one, but I paid R100k for an Astra with 60,000km so I'm broke.
 
Plus the options included are unbelievable.
PDC Front & Rear
Premium Bose Audio System
Sunroof
Navigation
Power heated leather seats
Electric Steering Column
Automatic Dual zone climate control
Smash and grab tint
Auto lights & windscreen wipers
Full service history with MB Umhlanga ( Currently being serviced)
Cruise control
Power Folding and heated mirrors
87,000km and One owner. Unfortunately Financed.
 
I think it was worth what you paid for it. It's not a huge amount higher than book, and just the mileage and dealership service history is worth probably R20k.
 
I am happy for another 5 years where I will mostly put on about 100000km. I thought that something like a Figo I would not be very comfortable or safe on the highway at 120km/h

I'm not surprised you know nothing about them, seeing as you've never owned one.

Turbos last hundreds of thousands of kms, and when they go, they're cheap to replace.

Not to mention that they can often be repaired and don't always need to be replaced.
