• Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will start looking at the below. No love for the Skoda Yeti? It does seem to be a good practical car.

    Toyota Auris
    Honda Jazz
    Ford Focus Estate
    Skoda Octavia Estate

  • Yeti is a cracking car but they command strong used prices.

  • You have to factor in the cats.
    Two Auris, one Prius and a brace of Jazz in the workshop since Monday last week to today for replacement catalysts. The Aurises' cats were stolen at different houses 5o metres apart on the same road within minutes of each other. They really are getting hammered everywhere.
    I drove a Yeti Monte Carlo for about 10 miles the other day, 170bhp and an absolute hoot but I think they might eat tyres.

  • Honda Civic is better at motorways than the Jazz, looks less embarrassing and you can still fit two bikes in the boot. Will also do 50mpg on longer trips if you have a light right foot too.
