Yet another "What Car" thread

[RetroPug]

Right, are any of these a good buy?

Astra

Corsa

Fiesta

The corsa seems amazing value for money and gives great MPG but I'm really not sure I can bring myself to drive a corsa and I must say although that one looks alright I really don't want one.

I am actually rather fond of astras and that one is cheap, has a long MOT so will be legal for at least a certain length of time assuming it doesn't blow up and will also get good MPG.

A 1.4 Diesel Fiesta will be a much pricier option but will get good MPG, be comfortable and generally just good (I think?) I'm doing 50 odd miles a day so want something comfortable and reasonably refined. Also, if I own it a few years cheap tax will be good as that'll save me a few hundred overall. Can't decide whether this one is high miles or barely run in? See lots of astras at 150k-200k but not many fiestas much higher...maybe due to them being a bit newer.


Thoughts? Might have time to view one this weekend. I really just want something cheap to run, reliable nice to be in, with aircon and not totally hateful. It doesn't need to be quick nor cool etc.
