Hi I'm on the look out for a diesel I wanted a Astra cdti 150 but after reading the common problems I've been put off

It's got to be nothing bigger than a Astra mk5
3 door
Diesel
About 6k max anything less is better
Got to be quick

What do You suggest?

Ibiza suspension is a bit more stiffer than the Astra, but i would still pick 1 over an Astra tbh. Cheaper to buy and very good all round cars and not as common. Don't seem to have as much "horror stories" either.

I've owned both and the Astra is more of a car.

Ibiza isn't bad and I like 1.9 tdi's but it's like a tin can compared to the Astra.
