Also FWIW Mazda 3 is similarly priced to both those cars, so what you have isn't too little as a sum, you just need to ask the dealerships personally (over phone works too, if you don't have one really close to you).

Yeah thats the one. Funny little thing used to over 200hp up and down these corfu roads bless it struggles
I've heard very mixed reviews about it tbh, a lot of unhappy people like yourself.
It seems it's not a very reliable car... Petrol or diesel though?

Petrol its only for a week then back to 5 series. Works out cheaper hiring a car instead of two lots of taxi fares. Plus get to explore the island
Protip: petrol and massive cars rarely work as you want them to. My Cherokee is as big/bigger and I've had absolutely no problem going up and down a mountain road this very weekend.
We've got a Dacia Sandero 1.4. We bought it 5 years old (now almost 8 yrs old) and it's pretty decent. You get a car the size of a Focus for the price of a car in the class below. Had to do fix a few things but nothing out the ordinary (timing belt, LGP injectors, brake pads/disks). These are essentially Renaults anyway, but built in Romania. My only complaint is that it is hopeless on hills. Having said that I've several times driven 400km in one go and it hasn't even murmoured problems. I'd get another one, just one that's more powerful and petrol only. Don't like the LPG
LPG and a small engine can really give you problems on any kind of obstacle/steeper hill tbh, doesn't matter if it's a Dacia or BMW. My old Fiat Bravo 1.4 was the same and it was petrol anyway.
Other than that - you can say that for pretty much every Dacia out there. Inexpensive and reliable, and if something fails - it's at least cheap. The only complaint I have for them is usually bad sound isolation on slightly bigger engines and the fact they're made of plastic inside and that starts rattling rather quickly.
Pro-tip: move to America, where the fuel is cheap, the horsepower is in excess, and the roads are long
But this is Yourope, so...
Also FFS forgot to upload pics! Will try to do that inbetween work today lol
