What's the best car for motorway commuting?

Can you tell me the best cars to do a 100-mile commute up the motorway and back? I'm looking for five-door, reliable, economical and no smaller than a Fiesta. My budget it up to £8,500. If it has cruise control and DAB that would be a bonus.

A Kia Cee'd would be a very sensible choice. They're generally very well equipped (a 2015 or later model in '2' trim or above will have your desired DAB radio and cruise control), while you should be able to get one with the remainder of Kia's seven-year warranty in budget. Look for one with the frugal 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine. Also consider the very similar Hyundai i30 or bigger i40.
