The Honda has been facelifted just like the Toyota; in terms of powertrains the 1.5 VTEC four-cylinder in the Honda is flawless, versus a more recent 1.5 three-cylinder in the Toyota that looks promising, but in terms of dealerships there are more for Toyota...

The little-known Japanese: versatile and very roomy, in the tradition of the old MPVs sacrificed on the altar of stupid SUVs.
And when it comes to the competition, there’s no contest between a reliable Honda powertrain that really consumes what it promises — even less at times — and a pure all-show PSA unit that drinks far more fuel than advertised.

Fast, dynamic, very versatile. Boot just adequate but interior space excellent, even for people taller than 1.90 m. Fairly quiet and quite frugal on fuel. Sturdy and very reliable. Downsides: brakes and suspension noisy during manoeuvres, engine effective but noisy under acceleration. If driven with a bit of care, it's not hard to reach 30 km/l in town.

VW Caddy

The VW Caddy is the Swiss-army knife of compact vans — practical, surprisingly refined, and ready to swap a weekend adventure for a grocery run without breaking a sweat. It’s user-friendly, comfortable enough for daily driving, and sensible for buyers who want utility with a dash of style and no drama.

A really lovely car with space for a wheelchair and much more, which we've had for almost 14 years and driven over 200,000 km with. Now the gearbox has failed and we'd like to buy a new one.
