Hi, tomorrow after breakfast in Berlin, I'm driving 1500 km to Rome in 8 hours for eating pizza at dinner. I need a cheap (max €5000) 2000-2010 hatchback, white for the European heat and compact for Rome's parking. Any recommendations?
Instead of moving to Paris for my new job, I'll commute from Istanbul. If I drive a 1.2L Twingo full throttle through the Alps, how much gas will I use? Can an atmospheric engine survive the altitude, or should I buy a 1.9 TDI Passat to spew black smoke? No EVs please.
