I do about 4000miles in short trips around town and 4000 in France on two holidays a year.I need some pointers for another car to do the following--automatic,boot large enough for golf gear and trips to the tip with garden rubbish, doesn't strain at motorway speeds,rear passenger space sufficient for two grandchildren, 30mpg+. You do not like diesels for this sort of mileage so it looks like petrol/hatch.budget up to £25000 for new or nearly new with a bit of comfort/goodies for an oldie.
