Hi, I'm looking at buying a 2L Mazda Axela hatchback and would like to know what is the better buy. I am comparing a 2013 old body style with under 30,000km on the clock for around $15k to a 2013-2014 new body style for around $17-18k but they have around 70-80,000km on the clock. The later body style has a 5 star safety rating whereas the older body style has a 4 star safety rating. To get a new body style with lower kms is outside of my budget. Which would you recommend? Thanks.

Hi there,
We recommend buying the newest car your budget allows and safety would take precedence over km's travelled. This is because the newer the car the more chance of increased safety and technology.
