Hi there,
This is a very broad question, with many cars to choose from. What size of vehicle would suit your needs?. Maybe a mid size hatchback, Mazda 3/Axela could be worth a look.

Would a smaller size engine such as a 1200cc last as long as a 1500cc or 1800cc, I was worried if a got a small economical car that it wouldn't stand up to the kms I would be putting on it each day.

I would think a smaller engined car may be a bit under powered to travel 140kms of highway driving a day. You would be asking more from the engine and may be a bit hard on it. The car could do it, but I would prefer a larger engine. 1200cc would suit round town driving better.
