Hello. Just had the news from my latest MOT attempt that my 2006 Mk8 Civic is basically ready for the scrap heap. Im pretty gutted really and I didnt see it coming to be honest. I've had the car for 4 years and its been a pretty good car. The exterior is in good condition as far as rust goes but apparently the underside is rotten to the point its uneconomical to have it repaired.
Anyway I have a son so even if I did have the car repaired I wouldn't feel safe having him in it. So Im looking for a replacement. I need 5 drs and a good sized boot. The Civics boot was fine but I felt the rear passenger space was pretty cramped.
My budget is probably £4k. I have always bought cars maybe 10+ years old that after 3/4 years of my ownership started going down hill mechanically so I would like to pick up something newer if possible.
I would prefer to have something that isnt only family orientated but something I can enjoy driving myself. Any help and advice will be appreciated. Thanks
