hello your advice please
we are downsizing from days of 2 cars and kids to now 1 car for 2 late 60 years old
cars previously Civic and Camry wagon then Mazda 2 and Atenza wagon now i20 and i30 wagon usually buy about 5 years old
because I like to be able to carry things in a car it has to be a least a hatch if not a wagon for flat load space
I have preferred Japanese/Korean because of reliability and service costs I would also like (if we have 1 car) a reasonable amount of power for occasional distance travel say 1.6 minimum or 1.8
I might consider European
do you have any suggestions?
thank you
