I may well change my car - can you make any suggestions please? We are both retired and travel abroad without the car several times a year so our annual mileage is fairly low. My ideal is - a good ride, high safety rating, hatchback, automatic, 5-door, a car large enough to very occasionally seat three adults in the back seat for reasonably short distances. I only cover a small annual mileage.

My current Laguna bought new on a 04 plate has only done 33,000 miles, made up of short journeys with the occasional 2-300 miles ones. I believe that a diesel is not be recommended for such a low annual mileage. A better fuel consumption and lower tax would be an advantage but is not a major consideration. I have considered a Megane, Audi A3 or even as a last resort another Laguna though I feel I am not looking at a wide enough range
