What spacious car should I replace my Kia Rio with?
I have a 2010 Kia Rio 1.4 diesel and I want to upgrade to a new car where I can fit my golf clubs in with ease. I do about 15-20,000km per year.
Any suggestions?

Hi Laurie,
Well, I'm assuming that, as you have a Rio, you won't want to see your price tag or running costs rise by too much, so how about a Skoda Fabia Combi estate? Similar in size and running costs to the Rio, but with a massive boot that should easily take your golf clubs (although you should bring them on the test drive to make sure they slot in OK - better safe than sorry).
If the Fabia is still too small and you want to stay within the Kia family, then what about a cee'd SW estate? Masses of space, frugal 1.6 diesel engine and you should get a decent deal on a one- to two-year old example, still with lots of that nice full-sized Kia warranty to run.
Let us know how you get on
