My wife's car has a 1.6 engine, and is a similar size. It is great for town / combined driving but its efficiency dramatically reduces on long motorway slogs as at 7o it sits well above the efficient band on its rev range.
If you are planning a lot of motorway driving a slightly larger engine 1.8 to 2.o litre would pay dividends in terms of fuel efficiency.
Snotty reply, sorry. One of said family members was losing her shit. What I mean is, I am not looking for a Dammit level fast estate. Just more room and comfort for long distances.
