We’ve a place in the rural south West, plan is eventually to retire there, so only use hire cars and old motorbikes I’ve stashed there atm. I wouldn’t buy anything too exotic on the grounds that getting anybody to fix or service it would be a major pita, Scoobys don’t seem to popular down our way, even with the boy racers. May not be an issue if it’s not your regular drive.

Yeah, it's a hatch too, love them but not right now.
Thing is, we're moving to west coast of Ireland where cost of living is low, and space is plentiful, so I'll likely buy something fun for myself when we're home and settled next year.
I've narrowed my choice to 2 or 3 cars:
06 impreza wrx wagon - slightly older, not cheap to run, but plenty reliable if you don't chase power
05 forester xt - same as the above pretty much, but worse on fuel and with more space
13 skoda yeti 2.0tdi 4x4 - cheaper to run, cheaper to tax, nearly 10 years newer, but (and its a big one) it's a diesel
The impreza is my wife's least favourite annoyingly
