Which wagon

joanne83, May 30, 2:33am
Looking to change my Toyota caldina 2.0 for a smaller wagon . considering Corolla wagon, Hyundai I.30 or ford focus. Are 1500cc or 1600cc engines powerful enough for hills and the odd long trip?

do you drive 50 km in one hit with no stopping at least 1 time a week?

Stick with a Toyota, yes the engine is powerful enough, that is also where the gears come in. (o:

Seldom drive 50k without stopping, often drive on steep hills.

All are good cars, which one might depend on your needs and what comes up for sale near you. Personally I like driving feel, good feel some steering and responsive chassis please me so I would get the focus. It's a good handling car with enjoyable steering feel. If that doesn't matter any are good modern cars.

Move up the pecking order and buy a Nissan - Toyota had its
heyday in the 90's

Are you expecting big economy gains? Or just wanting newer lower k car. If the former it may not be worth it unless your going for far newer car with latest tech. On hills etc a carefully driven 2 litre will be very much same economy as 1.6 that's having to work harder.
For significant better economy you need to get into the sort of tech that's it a 1.4 golf with dct box, or latest ecoboost fords etc.
if your just swapping at same price I'd question the value in it.

why not keep what you have I think you will regret getting the others
