Hi all
Going from a van and old micra to a newish car! Lots of choice out there! But, lets start with basics, man knows a lot about "older cars", mechanic long ago, but newer cars on market he may not know well. So budget 10k ish! He would like Toyota Rav , 2 dr..diesel, I need a higher seat, poss auto, problems every now and then with left knee and ankle and lower back, we are fit though, hill walkers, cyclists, golf "er". 2 dogs also, need back space. I'd like small tax, eco drive, low insurance but willing to give a little, my friend says I am not to get another "old" persons car. In our 50's, 1 grandchild. In Dublin area, but cars seem to be cheaper in Cork? no hurry, so if you have recommendations as to "models". I have not driven any but looked Hyundai i10, (1 on sale has lumbar support, sport interior But could be awful). I know I'm taking a "risk" here asking but sure...

You should mention that "he"/"we" loves "quotes" also

Will have to post a pic of them, can just see it, one is like a fox, other a puppy springer spaniel, they would win the hearts and souls of all fellow travellers...thanks for the laugh as this car selection business is hard work..
