Which car should be bought for a colleague who wants reliatbility, comfort and value?
Safety first is one of the ideas that springs to mind. Should it be EV/Hybrid/Petrol or Diesel? Personal thoughts lean towards a safe petrol car.
Personal experience shows that Honda and Volkswagen are excellent value and safe options. Toyota too, but personal experience has been more with Honda and Toyota. Basically anything German or Japanese has been top of the list.
