What automatic petrol car would you suggest for a 70 mile commute?
I would welcome your advice on what nearly new cars to consider buying. My company is moving and I will have to drive 70 miles to and from work with short journeys the rest of the week. My budget is up to £17k and I want a comfortable reliable economic petrol automatic that I can climb out of after two hours without feeling crippled.

We'd be tempted by a Honda Civic 1.0 CVT but it has a timing belt rather than a chain. The Mazda 3 would be another sensible choice, with a chain rather than a belt. Also consider the Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf.

Bigger than previous Civic, independent rear suspension means better ride and handling, 1.0 VTEC turbo petrol is excellent while i-DTEC diesel is very refined.
