• Toyota Yarisl - Something a bit bigger and faster 15 Jan 2020 (Forum)
    I narrowed down the choices to these but find it hard to choose. 1. Honda Civic upward of 2013 in 1.8 petrol manual 2. Mazda 3 Skyactive G 2.0 petrol manual from 2013 upward 4 or 5 doors.. 3. Toyota Auris 1.6 Petrol vmatic manual  from 2011 upward. 4. Lexus IS250 auto upward of 2009   The Yaris can be a bit boomy on the M roads at 3000rpm so wanting something as quiet as our Avensis petrol (but maybe not as big).

It never ceases to impress me how many excellent cars you can buy for so little money. There really is no need to buy an overpriced new car at all.
