I've extremely kindly been bumped up to 3 cars by my brother and sister in law. While the Volvo has been out of action, they lent us their 2013 E Class diesel hybrid, but they since upped their kindness by saying we can keep it because they don't use it. It's not ulez compliant so it'll have to be traded in or sold next year, but still, it's nice to have a modern car that has nothing wrong with it and does 50ish mpg.
Not a middle ground where a single vehicle may do? It's a costly exercise to run 2 vehicles. It may not satisfy trips to the tip [how many of those do you really do?], but what about something like a Yaris or...Jazz? Both better built than an Aygo, honestly fine on the motorway, but still easy to park and low running costs.
