James is looking to buy a new hot hatchback car at a reasonable price. He wants to pay off the car over the course of 60 months. When he pays off the car he is going to sell the car. Help James pick the best value car by comparing the cost of the car and the resell price at the end of the 60 months. You will need to write strong arguments for and against each car. You might even want to take into account the running costs of the car. Starter: Compound Interest Main Activity: Compound interest, costing (value for money), direct proportion and mathematical reasoning. Cars: Ford Fiesta ST, Golf GTi and BMW M118i
