So in about 3 to 4 months time I want to buy a new car but I am unsure what to get. So Id like it if you guys could share your opinions what I should get with the things I say below?

- 5 doors
- Preferably hatchback
- Max budget of £4,500
- Needs to be a car that will look really nice in all black meaning tinted windows and black rims.
- 1.4L or 1.6L
- Want the car to have a modern inside look like the 2012 astra.

I had an idea of a 2015 Corsa or 2012 Astra.

Rep for anyone who gives good opinion.
Thanks

In the UK a '5 door' means 4 doors and a boot. Or 'trunk' as you call it.

@OP can't go wrong with an Astra, was my 1st car, loved it, reliability was fantastic.

There's a few cars that would fit your criteria. Me personally I'd stay away from the Corsa. Astra however is a good choice. You could also go with a 1.6 Golf TSi, Alfa Romeo Giulietta Lusso, Audi A3 1.6 TDi, Suzuki Swift. At this moment in time I can't really think of many more 5 door hatcbacks besides the Focus ST and the Fiesta. Me personally, if I was looking into a hatchback I'd go with a 3 door. But if I was having to stick with a 5, I'd probably go with a golf.

I like corsas but their 'teen' reputation is poor if you know what I mean. My sister wouldnt recommend VWs as they break a lot (she worked for them).

if you ask someone who works for another company you probably gonna get the same answer. She worked for them so of course she is gonna see a lot of broken ones if you know what i mean.
