Right then need a new/newer car as little red car (aka Peugeot 206) won't be with us for much longer
Open to suggestions/recommendations and feedback on all as I am not brand led.
Would like though:

Diesel engine

Focus* sized (* Focus only used as an example)

Hatchback ( I would like an estate

but Mrs LMTTM says no

)

Economical both in performance and depreciation but we tend to keep our cars until they die so residual value important but not everything.

Comfortable - will be used for circa 20K a year mainly motorways

Not swung of French cars
Budget TBA and dependent upon mileage/conditions but expected to be around £6 - £8k As don't want a loan :evil: :evil:
So then over to you suggestions & recommendations all welcome
