Doggy bags
I’m considering a replacement for our Volvo V40 under Scrappage
and would be grateful for your advice on suitable alternatives. It has to be automatic and big enough for two of us and a large dog plus baggage. I had thought of Skoda Fabia Estate, Kia Cee’d SW or possibly Yeti or Soul but latter two are a bit pricey for us. Your advice would be much appreciated.

Yes, KIA cee'd or Hyundai i30 1.6 auto. You can't get a Yeti auto yet. Fabia estates not as good and very ugly, but do have a flat rear load deck. A Peugeot 207 SW 1.6 auto is another alternative.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
