  Budget is £15-20k, and needs to be a load carrier for family holidays and weekend jaunts, as well as for the weekly taxi runs to various kid clubs and shopping. We're ruling out diesels as I don't want to run into the same problem a few yrs down the line, and perfer to avoid SUVs. Market for hybrids to suit budget and needs is limited, so looking at petrol.

• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-12-2017 Part 1 16 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  The reason is simple: cars with broken engines do not move, and cars that do not move pose no more of a hazard than buildings, lumps of rock, things that fall off lorries and land in the road, and a million other things that do not move. Ah, but you will say, it might have broken down where others could run into it. Yes, but the law and the insurance companies both say that would be their fault, not the fault of the car that is run into. What you have here is not an issue that justifies a safety recall but simply another case of poor engineering from VW.
