    Just started a new job and need to buy a better car as I will be driving up to 500miles + per week. Could anyone recommend what type of secondhand car to go for (price range at the most 7-8 grand) which is fuel efficient, very reliable and not to bad looking at the same time.

    a Golf 1.9 tdI (110bhp) should do the trick.

    What about the Bus.

    Will the car be an essential part of your job.

    If so ask for a company car or get good mileage and subsistence allowance.

    If not, then get the bus mate or the train. If neither are in close approximity then go for a Seat Leon TDI (Cheaper than the Golf, but just as good)

    If i was you, and this is what i should have done. Get an Opel Corsa Van deisel off course or a car van of some type. Toyota Corrolla maybe.

    The equivelent Seat Leon would be cheaper, in case you don't know, the Leon is basically a Golf with a (better looking) Seat body and a few of the Golf options as standard.
