Hi All
I'm starting to think about my next car. I currently drive an Alfa Giulia Veloce, which is fabulous by the way (do yourself a favour and try one), which comes to the end of the 3 year PCP in March. I have a car allowance from work, which stipulates a few things, such as the car should be less than 5 years old, and has to be big enough to do my job.
The Alfa is a great car, but it doesnt make sense to buy it, as i'll need to replace it in a couple of years anyway.
So we are looking to do an extension on the house, with a remortgage etc, so i need to reduce the monthly cost a bit, to free up some money for that.
I sporty focus sized hatch should do the trick, but having looked about, most cars like this have either a very small petrol engine with 120-150 BHP, or 280BHP, with nothing in the middle. 200BHP or there abouts, would be ideal. The only example i can find is the KIA ceed GT, which is a bit bland, but does look fairly tidy... is there anything else?
Requirements:
5 door hatch
looks good (subjective i realise)
decent size wheels - 18s on a car this size.
A fairly firm ride
Nice to have:
Android Auto
heated seats
leather
The deals all look a bit rubbish too to be honest, when i got the alfa, i got 8 grand off the price, and 2% APR. current interest looks to be about 5% ish, and £3000 ish off on carwow. to replace like for like would cost nearly £200 more a month!
the Alfa was my first new car, was this just a cracking deal, and the current deals are typical? or are the current deals just rubbish due to covid?
Thanks guys
