suggestions for a new car

[rjw]

me and the mrs have decided that we only want one car rather than 2, the vectra is too big for her, but the corsa is too small for us to be 1 car with just the corsa. We need something that feels small to drive but is larger, if that makes sense? I'm partially tempted by an astra diesel, but we had a petrol one before which i was dissapointed by.
has anyone other recommendations for what cars could come into a suitable car, I think Astra sized would be best for what we need, so what would people recommend? we'll have a budget for whatever we can sell the vectra 1.9 cdti (55 reg 84k), and Corsa 1.4 (57 reg 10k)

Honda civic 2.2 cdti (06-on)55mpg boot space of 480 litres (Only 5litres smaller then vec) they are near enough same size as vectra but somehow feel smaller.

i saw a couple of these well within what we can get for our 2 cars, but was nervy of it being a 2.2 really, might have to make a trip down to the honda garage

have you had the megane long? i like them, but i'm really weary of Renaults having had a couple of bad ones! what age is yours and have you had much problems?
