Ooh yes good point although I'm sure they do. We had the 65 reg Diesel, it was a fantastic car. Solid, safe and brilliant to drive. I've got an X1 now which I really don't like half as much so going to go back to a Volvo when we get back from hols

Just checked and they do a Petrol version as well as a Petrol/Plug in hybrid

If you are looking at the more premium ranges then the Mercedes GLA would be my choice over either the Volvo or BMW.

Have you considered the Kia Sportage, they do a good range of petrol models.

Check out some of the manufacturers offers.
Sometimes you can get a PCP deal on a new car for less than a PCP on a two year old car for example.

This can happen when the manufacturers are pushing a model and offer contributions towards deposits and zero percent finance on a new car.
The two year old model probably won’t have a deposit contribution nor zero percent finance , more likely around 5 to 6 per cent.

I would go around a car supermarket where you can get all kinds of different models and see what suits you best .

We have a Hyundai Santa Fe which is bigger than you want and I hate it with a passion so much so that even though we’ve only had it since Oct we are selling it this month . Not sure what it’s replacement will be but definitely not another Hyundai

We replaced a VW Golf (albeit an estate) with an Audi Q3 and we love it! Plus the service from Audi has been exemplary.

I've never looked into PCP. Where's the best place to start looking?

How big do you want? My other half has a Honda HRV and really likes it. Its quite similar in looks to the Mazda.

The rear seats fold up easily, so if something doesnt fit in the boot, you have the option of folding the rears seats up (if your not carrying passengers obviously)
