A while ago I asked for ideas as I needed to move from a much-loved Ford Fiesta to a bigger car suitable for a family with tall blokes. I promised feedback when I eventually took the plunge ...
... and a few weeks later I am the very happy owner of a five-year-old Peugeot 3008, with a boot so enormous that it will swallow the family's luggage and ask for more, enough elbow room for the front passenger to dance without annoying the driver, and flat space (with the back seat folded) that will comfortably carry the spinet when I need to take it to music events.
She is called Doris the Diesel.
Thank you all! Your advice was very helpful. Also, a climbing friend has bought Spotty the Fiesta, so Spotty is happy too.
