Can you recommend a medium sized car?

I am replacing my 14 year old Toyota Corolla due to the fact the car is becoming uneconomical to keep on the road. I'm looking for a used medium sized car that will be reliable, safe and large enough to carry my golf equipment. My journeys will probably be short and I’ll prefer petrol over diesel. What do you suggest?

KIA cee'd or Hyundai i30 1.6 petrol. Try to get a later one with a 6 speed gearbox.
