The trustworthy 500x will be going later this year so pondering some options. Budget £25k max and less than 2 years old - not German nor Ford or VX and something a bit individual. I think we need to embrace 'newer' technology so the AR Stelvio is out the question though if the Giulia came in sportwagon guise then I'd have one in a shot. Fancy the Alfa Tonale MHEV though I know it's been met with 'its not a proper Alfa' blah blah but hey the world moves on. Shocked how you can pick up a 24reg new model MGHS Hybrid+ for less than £20k but suspect it'll be distinctly average in all departments at that price. Oh and to be totally banal, boot space c 500litres for dog etc

Answers on a postcard

If it?s just a workhorse, then the MG stuff will fit the bill, otherwise I think you?ll struggle with the budget you have in mind


Cheers Jamie

Jamie is right about the MG range

You could also look at the Chinese Jaecoo/Omoda ranges if want a lot of metal for a value price.

Then if your street cred doesn't matter, follow me to the Dacia showroom !
