Reliable petrol hatchback up to 1.5?
is there a reliable petrol hatchback with up to 1.5 engine, trading up from micra would like more boot capacity..
Our answer:
Hi Mary,
You could do a lot worse than a Nissan Pulsar - lots of space in the back and boot and you can choose from either a 1.2 turbo petrol engine or a 1.5 diesel. A Volkswagen Golf 1.2 TSI turbo petrol is also an excellent choice, or how about a Mazda3?
