Please could you advise on cars that I should view. My husband likes the Audi A3 but I find the boot small. What other cars should we consider? We are both old but do above average mileage

The Golf Mk VI shares the latest A3 upgrades and is roomier. Best with the 1.4TSI engine (though demand exceeds supply). The new Mazda 3 is nice to drive, especially with the basic 1.6 petrol engine. The new Renault Megane has the best ride in the class. The Ford Focus is still class leader because it does everything well, though isn’t trimmed as well as a Golf VI.
