Looking for a spacious petrol hatchback...
i am looking for a spacious, reliable,not to expensive to run 1.4l hatchback. I am thinking Corolla or Hyumdai i30.Any ideas or alternatives bearing in mind I do need to fold the back seats down flat for space.
Our answer:
Hi Fergal,
Both the Corolla and i30 make ideal choices for you then as both should be painlessly reliable, and are roomy. It’s also well worth checking out the Honda Civic, which is roomier still and rather nicer to drive than either the Hyundai or the Toyota.
