Sincere silence

Please will you recommend a really quiet car that costs less than £40,000 (used is fine), but is also economical. One of the car mags used to publish DBA figures, but stopped. By the way, I am also 6'...

Back door

I have a Peugeot 206 SW that offers wide, low loading access. Please can you suggest a similar vehicle that has a similar good rear access?

A Bip on the horizon?
