Thanks for the comments peeps, not even thought about some of the suggestions.......
I have been running diesel Autos since 2007 and never had a problem, my car get up to full speed and temperature on my commute, remember this is a ‘Northern’ mostly 70 MPH commute on good fast roads...........
Citoren C4 Grand and Peugeot 3008 are both firm contenders, loved my Citroen possible my 3rd best all time car modern car, only beaten by a 2.7 auto Gallant and a 2.7 Auto Rover.
Seat Altea – Not a car I was aware of, worth consideration, auto diesel, sadly nothing close by.
VW Tiguan – Not aware, only Petrol auto, not good enough on fuel
VW Touareg – fuel same as the Jeep
Ford Galaxy – May be worthy of further consideration, sure I read, there was a problem with Ford auto boxes around 08 /09? I did got to a Ford / Nissan dealer today, Evans Halshaw in Darlington, shocking access could not find anywhere to park, turned around and drove out, won’t be buying anything from there............
Nissan X-Train – Possibly worthy of further consideration, not as good on fuel as I hope for and a 4x4, Sister in Law has got into the habit of borrowing the Jeep at weekends to tow a horse box, got beyond a joke now really – have offered them the opportunity to purchase said Jeep though........
Vx Zafira – Worth looking at further..........
Chevvy Orlando – Ticks all the boxes and is not French........
Toyota Verso – worthy of further consideration, not so good with fuel though.
I am with Andy B and wonder what is available that is RWD, Auto and does 40 MPG +.........
The Skoda Yeti looks fab, have looked at those before; not sure how robust these little high revving engineers will be in the long term. Other problem is it is only a 1.2, I need to add another requirement, Must be 1.6L or over maximum mileage reimbursement then..........
No BMW’s or anything too ostentatious, as used for work........
