Hi all, I'm on the lookout for a tourer to replace my daily zafira...

Mostly to and from work and taking the dog out etc, for longer journeys I tend to take the elgrand out.

Would the diesel be inappropriate? I've heard good things about the engine but also not to get a diesel for short runs...

Which engine would be most suited do you think?

As one of the biggest diesel fans on TA, I'd have to recommend a petrol model for short runs.

Electric would be even better...
 
I would agree, petrol accord Tourer or petrol FRV/CRV/HRV
 
Well, ignored the advice and got a diesel :D lol

Cheap and cheerful with 178k miles on the clock (although replacement engine turbo and clutch at some point)

Nice executive model with its share of issues!

The electric boot still works though :)
