What hatchback should I buy and should I stick with a petrol car?

Looking to upgrade my trusty 2000 petrol Toyota Corolla Liftback. I am considering the new model Toyota Auris or Hyundai i30 or a similar hatchback. My annual mileage is 10,000 miles with mostly short runs ranging in distances of between less than 10 miles and 2 miles urban and town driving with longer spins at the weekend. Which engine type should I go for? Also considering that at weekends I will be carrying two adults and two teenagers.

Will I find a BMW X3 18d underpowered?

Hello, I would like to know if there is a big difference between the BWM X3 20d and the BMW X3 18d. I currently drive a BMW 520d and am thinking of changing to the X3 next year, but am worried if I pick the 18d I may find it underpowered.

What do you think? Thanks.

Do you agree the new Mazda3 is a good replacement for my BMW?

I am changing car; I have a BMW 318 at present but the new one is quite pricey! I have test driven the BMW 1 Series, an Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf Highline and a Mazda3. Whilst they are all fine cars I found the Mazda very good value and an excellent drive. Can you comnent?
