Like, I might do a full week of 16 hour driving days, but then might not be in the car doing that level of driving for a month (i'll still have a fair bit of driving to do, but just not that intense). Something I've pondered is would it be worth my while buying a nice car that I like, and then renting a car for the week of really busy driving. I've never had a credit card, which is why I've never tried this, but is there an obvious reason it wouldn't work? I presume one overgrown hedge rubbing down the side of the car on a tight boreen, and that's me nailed to the wall with a big expense from the rental company?

Can always be gotten cheap and cheerful, with low mileage in half decent condition: For example: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2016-dacia-duster-1-5dci/25537993 They seem to have all I need (Air Con, Cruise Control, Diesel Engine, a little ground clearance, bit of room). Have you a link to it, out of curiosity. Never really been mad about Avensis for some reason, but wouldn't mind seeing the ad if you have one up?

I sat in a Duster before and I couldn't make myself comfortable and looking at that drab interior with exposed screwheads would depress me. Can't see it being comfy on motorways either. I'd much rather a 1.5 Fluence/Megane with same engine. I had a Megane coupe with the 1.5 dci and I really like it. Here's a Fluencehttps://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/141-renault-fluence-1-5dci-r-link/25620570 There's a reason that a lot of Fluences are taxis
