Noting the dislike of SUVs and 4x4s on here, and wanting to also have a petrol car which is as economical as possible, can I ask for suggestions?
The car is used mainly by me, but occasionally DH and a muddy spaniel too.
We live in a rural area: narrow roads which are not gritted when it snows, they are currently very muddy and potholed. I have had my car in for repair twice since December because of pothole damage.
My commute is a mix of rural roads and motorway. I do around 10,000 miles a year.
Currently have a Ford Focus. I've had two of these now, the Mk 1 and the Mk3. I think this model is on a downward trajectory, though, so not keen to have another. I do reaaallly like the heated windscreen though, so a car which has this would be great.
I quite like DH's Audi A3 but no heated windscreen and the suspension is quite hard.
Any suggestions, please, vipers?
