Can you recommend an small, economical 5-door car with a large boot?
Our vicar is looking to change her eight year old FIAT Punto. She looked at a pre-owned Toyota Auris Hybrid, wanting to go green, but it was an expensive option. She needs an economical five-door with a large boot for carrying all the gear that vicars have to lug around. She would like a change from the Punto, what can you suggest?

Why not a used Prius II? I once got a double bed into one, so they are reasonably roomy. 8-year hybrid powertrain warranty, and they have a fantastic reliability record.

Decent combination of ride and handling that might suit some people better than a harder sprung Golf or a Civic. A few inches taller than a Golf of Focus so easier to get in and out.

Low CO2 emissions and zero car tax. Spacious cabin makes it a realistic family car. Plug-In version escaped London Congestion Charge.
