What kind of driving are you doing! Mostly city or mostly country/open road driving! Unless you are doing mainly 100km/h driving Id say the 1800 is a waste of money.

mostly around town but want a towbar to put 3 bikes onand sometimes a garden trailer to take rubbish to dump and once a week I drive to rotorua (48kms) maybe a longer trip once a year abit of a granny driver so never drive over 100kms unless passing. Dont want anything more than 1800 too expensive for petrol

Just as a heads up, bigger cc motors do not necessarily mean a car will use more fuel. In fact some cars with 1.3 1.5's that are underpowered use more fuel than rivals with much bigger engines. Generally because small engines have to work harder to develop the same power in a nutshell.
Trying to keep it simple, whats your budget!

Kimbo--what you describe sounds like would be just fine with a 1500cc version EXCEPT the towing a trailer part.A light 6x4 once every few months would be fine but heavier I'd be reluctant to recommend.either

sure the towing a trailer is probably once every 3-4 months just to take garden rubbish to dump which is 3 mins drive away I do want to put a bike rack on carrying 3 bikes now and then .ah so confused anybody want to take the money and buy for me.hate going around test driving cars etc blah! I want to keep this car for 5-6 years so want to be happy and not regret if its not gutsy enough. This is a mans job car hunting not for me!
