Auto Yaris to Volvo s80 to ?? something inbetween - tont

Went from small to huge and need ideas for something inbtween. Aound £8,000 to spend. akthough volvo car too big and diff to park (no sensors) I do like the ride/luxury/power after the yaris but need bigger boot than yaris. I like Merc and BMW but wary of rear wheel dirve and icey conditions times. Like Juke but bit pricey at mo. Any suggestions? must be auto and I do about 1000 miles month.

How about a Volvo S40 or V50 with either the 2.4i or 2.5T engine, many were automatics.

You could simply move up the Toyota models to an Auris, and get the biggest engine.

Or down from the S80 to a V50 with a 2 litre diesel.

Very difficult to find a V50 2.0D with the auto box for £8k though.

EDIT: Just looked, most have stellar mileages, the 2.4 D5 might be an option.

Many thanks for comments. Like auris but realised after 4 years that yaris not full auto, just auto clutch,and it was going. Not sure if auris the same. Also like s40 but missed seeing a local one, would like to try one tho as s80 goes like a dream. Rear Visibility of small bmw is poor. SAABs any good?????. Will keep looking.
