Casual window shopping for a new family car, not finding much that appeals. Requirements are:
Hybrid or Petrol
Decent sized boot (550L+)
5 door
Isofix
0-62mph <10s
Parking sensors
Not massively long (<4.7m)
Nice interior
Smooth and quiet ride
<£40k
Android Auto
Reliable (maybe more to go wrong in a hybrid?)
~9k miles per year, mostly mix of short motorway runs, town driving etc plus occasional longer trips and holidays etc. Potentially might go up as current numbers a bit subdued by pandemic.
Happy to wait
Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Icon Tech 2.0 seems to potentially fit the bill but don't know much about them.
Skoda Octavia Estate another option under consideration, but leaning towards the Toyota as the ideal of hybrid appeals for some of the short journeys it will be used for (plugin hybrid or full electric not really an option as garage/parking space isn't directly attached to our house).
Has anyone driven the new Corolla Estate?
