    Hi.

    Going to update my 03 Yaris later on in the year. Looking for a Hatchback with a decent sized boot. Want to leave my golf clubs and cart in them permanently.
    Not sure what's available as I don't know a lot about cars.

    A 2008 model probably.

    Was thinking of the Opel Corsa, Astra, Volkswagon Golf etc...
    Maybe a 1.4 or 1.6 litre engine. Reliable and Fuel efficient would be handy too.

    Any suggestions would very appreciated.

    Zak.

    Seat Toledo?
    I have one and the boot would easily house a family of four*

    *this may be a slight exaggeration

    Yeah Skoda Octavia would be the best tbh, you could also look at the Hyundai i30/Kia Cee'd, both have long warranties, good engines, reliable and reasonably large boots from what I remember.

    Yep, up to 2008 they were hatchbacks. Current model is a saloon though.

    I would imagine because the boot isn't all that spacious.

    Cheers guys.

    The Octavia seems to have a really big boot, but it's seems very big for a Hatchback. Looks like a saloon!!!

    Liking the look of the Hyundai i30.

    Wonder if it's a good car??

    The excellent Parkers website (http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews) has information on the boot size. Select your manufacturer, then model, then type, then look on the 'Comfort' tab.

    Here's one for the previous-model C5:
