I have owned three Vauxhall Zafiras as we have four children. I have been very pleased with them but the kids are now grown up with cars of their own, so I no longer need a people carrier. I have grown to love the higher seating position and am reluctant to give it up. We live up a muddy lane on top of a hill and are constantly pulling over to pass. I work as a nurse in Bristol, which is 12 miles away and have to park in a multi-storey with compact spaces. Most of my journeys are this run in to the city. This year for the first time ever I twice couldn’t make it in to work due to the snow and, as I work in an emergency dept, this was frustrating. It left me wondering if I need a 4x4, would a crossover do? I want a high up driving position, good boot space, the smallest car possible for my lifestyle, the ability to pull off on to grass and not get stuck, good all-weather driving, excellent safety features.
