£15k Help What Car?

[Gr1f]

Hi, currently driving a 1.4 diesel MY14 Peugeot 208. Whilst doing the job of being a cheap runaround I'm in the position for getting something different. Budget around £15k.

Requirements:
Decent sized boot - needs to take a few suitcases, tip runs, hauls from garden centre etc
Approx 200bhp
A few toys would be nice e.g. Heated seats, reverse camera, sunroof if possible?
Probably looking at suv/estate or large hatchback?
Automatic preferable but not a must
Tax no more than £270 preferably

Not too fussed on diesel or petrol, although most of my mileage is around town with a few longer motorway trips in between so diesel economy probably not necessary and avoiding any potential dpf issues?

Is there a car out there that has all this? Currently been looking at an Octavia VRS and Focus St-3, we've looked around a few dealers but nothing has particularly jumped out at us yet. Has anyone got any ideas to help us out? Thanks!

The Vrs is a great all rounder and hard to look past.

For me it would be a Vignale spec Mondeo it's the best FWD steer in class & the interior is a step above the VRS:

SUV wise if a diesel can work for you then the QX50 is very hard to look past & pretty much ticks every box (Roof/Heated & Air Cooled seats/360 cameras adaptive cruise etc ULEZ/CAZ compliant) apart from the £340 tax.

Thanks for those suggestions, will have a look at them both. The QX50's looks are definitely marmite and I'm not quite sure where I stand at the moment! Maybe seeing one in person will help...

Any opinions on this? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2021033108... looks decent and there's quite a few around the £15k point?

Seems like a nice one but check to make sure it's ULEZ/CAZ compliant.
