Asked by Janine Daniel
I've recently retired and I want to replace my 2005 Mazda 3 with a small luxury car as this may well be my last new purchase. I've looked at the Mercedes A250 and the Audi A3 and friends have suggested the Honda Accord Euro or the Lexus CT 200h.
Answered by CarsGuide
12 Jan 2015Your choices both get The Tick, but the Benz A250 might be too sporty for a retirement car and the A3 is an upscale Volkswagen Golf. A good mate has just bought an Accord Euro and, even though it goes out of production soon, he loves it. You should test-drive all three.
