First car -The decision

As I said in a previous chat, I am considering a first car. I am definitely getting something small family sized and around £6500-7000 but.... lemme show you :smile: AETV64941204_1.jpg2015-Ford-Focus-1.0-EcoBoost-European-Spec-front-three-quarter-view-1.jpg the main decision is between these two.

i prefer the ford, will hold its value much better than the kia. go for a smaller engine size or you may find yourself burning through petrol which can be annoying.

What happened with your first car?

it was a smart car, maintenance was expensive as you needed to go Mercedes. I had so many fines as well. Now theres so many alternatives to Uber and the night tube so getting around is simple.

Which is an example of why I think you should not be looking to buy a car at all.
