Hi John,

The answer to this question will depend very much on your budget, because your Meriva is probably worth anything between €1,000 and €2,000 on the market, which means you’ll get less for it as a trade-in. The obvious answer, as it is plentiful in number and has been around for years, is the Toyota Prius. It’s a reliable and practical car, too, so should make a sound used purchase for you.
