We're making really heavy weather of choosing a car to replace the family hack, a Volvo S60 Bi Fuel.Its not as if the car needs to be an enthusiasts machine but still nothing is "grabbing" me.

I need a similar level of fuel cost ( equivalent to 45 mpg average on diesel through the full year) and it has to be an auto for my wife. We have grown to like some of the features of the Volvo - electric leather memory seats in particular - but these arent deal breakers. That said, all the mass market cars like Ford and Vauxhall leave me completely cold. Finally I would like it to be a bit smaller than the Volvo since there are only two of us these days.

Any ideas? Anybody running a Pious for example? Or a 220 Merc, 3 series BM, maybe even an Audi though I always think that the VW or Skoda versions of the same car are better value.

Anybody gone Korean?
