Good car under 20K?

[Captain n00by]

So I decided I will go a bit more conservative with the budget for new car, as we live in uncertain times.

Although Beemers/Mercs/Alfas/Porsches are tempting, I feel I would have too much expenses with them.

So I decided for something more rational - a compact car for a fair price.

So now I'm looking at things like Clio, 208, Polo, Giulietta.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Don't buy a new vehicle unless you're paying in cash for the whole thing (or 75% or more down).
Vehicle financing is a scam meant to trick young people and people who care more about image than reality.

VW Polo or Up! ?

I don't know the european market, I'm american, but that being said I can vouch for the VW Golf and GTI as I've owned both. Sales figures show VW Golf as the top selling car in Europe in most recent years.

May be a little above your price range, but you guys also have the VW Polo over there and the VW Up! for that matter. I've heard good things on both from professional car reviewers as they've compared it to the Golf and both smaller models scale pretty well.

Indeed. But it is actually rather cool tbh! It is also pretty cost benefit.. Again if you only needed a car for yourself ^^

Can't go wrong with a dodge or ford.

The Lada Riva 4X4 is nice https://youtu.be/tgbAfc2TquA

I do like this car, it seems really sturdy, but I'm not really into "off-road".

Until you have to replace or rebuild the battery pack. You're looking at another couple of grand in that case.

Err.. you got battery warranty for 8 years or 100k miles.

I stand corrected. The 8 year warranty (10 years in California) is even transferable. Good to know, and thank you for the information!

Also, it looks like there are quite a few 2020 models that have been marked down to < $20k USD. (Quite a lot of them are in Florida, it seems.)

Though, did the OP ever stipulate what currency we're dealing with here?

I lease, and this is my last 12 years of motoring....

Vauxhall Zafira
Ford Focus
Nissan Qashqai
Hyundai Tucson <- current car, only had it 13 months.

The Focus is by far the best car I've had in those 12 years, in any measurable way, so much so I extended the lease on it and kept it for 5 years.

I'll keep an eye on Focus, thanks.

The Mazda 3 and the Volvo S40 share the same chassis. I'd also recommend any one of the three, depending on price and availability in your area.

Think this would cost upwards of 200K, not under 20K.
