Which almost new car should I buy: Focus or Octavia?
I am planning to trade in my 2012 diesel Ford Mondeo soon. I do less than 8000 miles a year and want a car that's reliable and cheap to run. I will keep it for approx five years. I have two cars in mind:
2016 Ford Focus petrol 1.0 EcoBoost Titanium with 7000 miles on the clock - price is £7k.
2015 Skoda Octavia SE petrol with 13,000 miles on the clock - price is £5l
Which would you buy?

Saloon shape but actually a practical hatchback. Far superior interior quality than outgoing model. Very practical with a large boot. Feels solid.
