Hello, my budget is between 1.5-1.7, what cars can you recommend? What I have in mind is the 1.5 ecotsi Leon, the 508 1.5 diesel, the 308 1.2 puretech and the Astra with the same engine

The Leon looks more sensible. I'd say don't touch diesel. We got the new Kodiaq, despite its massive 1785 kg body, heavy traffic, and a 900 m climb, it burns 6.5 liters.

Hi, when I think of the potential problems that could happen within the Stellantis group, the VAG-group Leon seems more appealing. Even with high mileage, it'll sell easily when the time comes; the Leon is a car you can drive trouble-free. I drive the 1.5 eTSI in a Tiguan, it's a sufficient, trouble-free and nice engine, enough for the Tiguan's heavy body, and it'll be even more performant and lively in the Leon.

They say the e-TSI group is very problematic; I need a car that won't give me trouble with breakdowns. An ecoTSI-engined Leon, manual, and one I know that's had full service maintenance, all the major services done - the new-gen chassis and old chassis are the same price, I'd like to get the new-gen one, but its market moves slower compared to the old-gen. The absurdity of the Turkish market makes me think twice.
