Buying a smallish auto petrol MPV or SUV?
I'm writing on behalf of my Aunty who is going to change her 6 year old diesel C-Max and is looking for a new car.
She is looking for a petrol (less than 4k mpa) auto small/ medium MPV or SUV with ease of ingress/egress, a raised seating position and a decent size boot for her dog and paraphernalia. She will be looking as Kia Venga, Ford B-Max and Toyota Verso (discounted Juke – boot too small). I think she should look at the Honda Jazz as well but do you have any other suggestions?

All very sensible advice. Well done. You could add the Hyundai ix20, which is the same as a KIA Venga, and a Toyota Verso S. There's a test of that under REVIEWS at www.honestjohn.co.uk
