Nursing honed

I am a district nurse and looking to renew my work supplied lease car. I currently have a Toyota Verso. I still need a moderately sized car with the option of seven seats for additional family/friends. I have 2 sons aged 9 and 11, a beagle dog aged three and a husband aged 42. I am 21 as ever. I want something that has lower CO2 emissions that looks a little stylish and gives me more miles to the gallon. I have been looking at the Touran Bluemotion or, boringly, the Verso again. Can you suggest anything that will tick all my boxes?

All-new Verso coming soon. The best is the 1.8 Valvematic petrol with CVT automatic. This has clever valve operation that makes it as economical as a petrol engine can be, without the penalty of a diesel’s particulate filter that could clog up on your short runs. You might also consider the new Berlingo Multispace 7 seater. Your problem is, as a district nurse you really need something like a Hyundai i10 1.2. A 7-seater is too big for the work calls. Maybe you should buy the smaller car ands hire a 7-seater when you need it.
