Okay folks, I have a problem!
I don't drive and I know nothing about cars but I have the job of booking a hire car for a 1 week trip to Scotland. I would be grateful if someone could suggest a few models to be looking at. I want to choose a hire company in the Keighley area so I need an idea of what kind of cars to be looking at.
What we want is a car with good fuel economy. Performance isn't an issue as long as it can cruise at 70 mph as economically as possible. The driver is pretty tiny so it shouldn't be too physically demanding to drive round twisty turny Scottish roads. (I've no idea whether all cars come with power-steering these days?)
There will be be two adults in the front of the car and we need enough room in the back for two mountain bikes, a couple of large rucksacks or suitcases and maybe a large cardboard box full of supplies. I don't mind taking the front wheels out of the bikes but I'd rather leave the rear wheels in. I'm assuming that we'd fold the back seats down to give us a large luggage area.
We don't want anything fancy. We just want something easy to drive with enough space for our stuff and something that won't cost a fortune to hire or fuel.
Could you give me a few suggestions to point me in the right direction? (Ta!)
