Tried finding the other thread i had going but i'll start from scratch anyways.
We are getting closer to purchasing a new car and have narrowed it down to a few cars and wanted to get some feedback from you guys on which is a good purchase and which is not.
The car has to be auto and i would like it to be diesel with leather seats and we have a budget of up to 30k.
Here are the contenders
Hyundai i30 SLX CRDi
Holden Cruise CDX
Ford Focus TDCi
Peugeot 308 XSE HDi

APR STAGE II.
have never driven any of these
but hers my opinion, for what it's worth.
i would look at the i30, know a few people with them, diesel's in particular and they love them
cheap to run, comfy, decent ride, have a semi decent stereo
thats about all i have to offer
parts/servicing for the i30/focus would most likely be cheaper and easier to get hold of too

2013 Ford Focus ST
Calibra - The only car that will institutionalise you and send you broke in the mean time
ford focus or peugeot!
Astra TS CD
running stock (for the moment)
stick away from the Pug unless you plan getting rid of it once its 2 years old.
04 Astra Sri - Silver - Full red leather interior - mk4 888 wheels - Star light roof lining - lowered - ice - exhaust - vxr brakes - quite a few other things.
my ride - no longer faster than qlds sri-t's
OEM+
04 Astra Linea Rossa - Build thread
What about the Mazda 3 MZR-CD as another option.....
Peugeot 308 XSE HDi
Have never driven any of the other cars. I think the Pug has got the most features of all the ones you mentioned. From experience, I do know that the Pug does drive great, good seats and servicing is every 20.000 k's. Small disadvantage of the Pug is getting hold of parts after a serious accident. Otherwise great car to drive.
Either the i30 or Cruze. my grandparents have a 2010 i30 in diesel and auto and they love it, good ride, enough power for them and excellent fuel Eco. A friend of mine at work has a diesel auto cruze and she loves it, nice interior to look at, good size medium car and nice smooth power plus fairly good fuel Eco not as good as the i30 tho.

You really cant go wrong with any of those cars but if I were to pick one, it would probably be the Focus as its probably dynamically better than the others (not having driven it, just going on what I read from reviews)
have you test driven all of them Gav?
