At this time of the year, having a daily-use car that’s capable, reliable and comes with a decent heater is pretty much essential. But if you fancy something with a classic twist and have no more than £1500 to spend, what are the best choices?

Okay, a Mercedes-Benz will be no better in snow than any other rear-wheel drive car; but at least with the 190 you’re getting a high-quality saloon that’s reliable, well built and (if you buy a decent example) should last for many years. A wide choice of petrol and diesel engines is available, but you need to be careful when buying at our £1500 budget.
That’s because prices of the best 190s have risen, which means immaculate, low-mileage cars can no longer be picked up for a song. Still, £1500 should get you a reasonable 1.8- or 2.0-litre with a lengthy MoT.
