After a year of laughs with my Panda 100HP I 'd like something bigger for my 40-mile daily commute and family duty when we're not in the camper. Handling and style more important than outright performance. Focus/Golf size will work better than Fiesta/Polo size. Late Alfa 147s appeal, but would the 1.6 be too slow? Ideas and experiences welcome. Thank you.

Requirements:
- £3k max
- Petrol
- 5 seats
- Not an SUV/MPV/crossover
- No older than about 10 years
