Pug- Isn't there an issue with that alcon calipers that piston corrode, and stick and damage pads and discs. There have been a few warranty claims from PUG, at quite low miles. This is from people also doing disc and caliper swap upgrades to psa cars. Is it a AUS issue?
Golf, expensive but hold value, is there a better other vag brand version seat/skoda/etc version?
Hyundai - I say best bet, depreciation hit but how quick can they get it, 5 years stress free..what does the servicing include brake discs and pads, and it is going to be the family car so child sick and child mess etc. You want something that you turn the key and the thing works

Hi car people. I have a completely non critical decision to make. I'm buying a second car as the a runabout. It has to carry two young kids still in car seats, has to be fun/ good to drive and be around the 30k AUD mark.
I have chosen 3 cars.
A 2017 Peugeot 308 gti 270 with a low 34,000 Kay's. It suits my french car affliction. Great to drive, and I like it. Questions over longevity and running costs. Eg, alcon brakes are about $3.5k to replace.
A 2016 mk 7 golf r manual with 80,000 Kay's. Predictably rock solid proposition, but dull and common.
Left field, a brand new Hyundai i20 N. Surprised by this car, it's basic... But so much fun. And worry free as the warranty and capped servicing makes the next 5 years stress free.
Really stuck here.
