Looking for a car for my daughter to be used almost exclusively in the city (Perth). She is uninterested in cars except for getting from A to B.
Something reliable, safe, and cheap to run, maintain and insure.
Around $15k budget and aiming for under 100k on the odometer and 2014 onwards (can stretch price for a good enough reason).
Seems to be better choice in manuals, where I can see Hyundai i20s, Accents, couple of Elantras, Kia Rios, some Mazda 2s, couple of Suzuki Balenos and really quite a lot of VW Golfs, some with quite low kms,
Thoughts from the OzB hive mind?
Do you have a salary package arrangement at the workplace, like SmartSalary? You can get a novated lease car for her to drive, given that she's likely to upgrade in 5 years, likely to an EV for her generation (it's easier to organise petrol/service costs, too), and there's a tax incentive to you.
