I'm 64 years of age and need a car. My wife has a new Fiat Panda Eco Active so shopping is sorted. My annual mileage has now dropped to around 10,000 with 12-20 visits a year to family down motorways and A-roads. My Corolla has been extremely reliable and is now has over 140,000 miles on the clock. I often use the car to fetch and carry timber and DIY materials and also the 30-mile round tip to the recycling centre with garden waste etc. I suspect I'll probably need an Estate version. My budget is £6000 to £6500 plus whatever the Corolla will fetch. I was thinking of a Focus, preferably an automatic although I could probably live with a manual gearbox.
