What shall I buy?

[Pud2]

I’m looking to buy a new car. I currently have a BMW 1 series which I like but want to upgrade. It will be just me driving it, mostly short distances. I’m looking at BMW, Mercedes or Audi but am not really a car person so would appreciate any advice.

Forgot to add - looking to spend about £30k

Without knowing what you want, other than an upgrade, it's hard to advise. I don't know much about the 1 series, so I would mainly be guided by stereotypes about BMWs and their drivers.

Parkers have a car finder at www.parkers.co.uk/which-car/ which asks about various features and suggests cars that match your requirements. That might be more useful than my random opinions on cars I've never driven.

Also read Honest John's buying guides at www.honestjohn.co.uk/how-to-buy-a-new-or-used-car/.

Thanks very much
