What hatchback do you suggest for mainly motorway driving ?

I have around £15K for a used car - hatch, usually just driver, non plug in - mainly for motorway driving with 10-15K miles per year - what would you suggest?

A Toyota Corolla Hybrid would be a great secondhand purchase for around £15,000. It'll be very efficient for your motorway miles and Toyota's excellent reliability record should give you added confidence on long journeys. If you get it serviced at a Toyota main dealer, you can extend the warranty for up to 10 years, too. It might also be worth looking at the slightly smaller Toyota Yaris Hybrid - especially if you can find the latest model (launched in 2020) within budget.

Very efficient hybrid hatch with surprisingly upmarket interior. Good to drive, too, while standard equipment levels are generous.
