 What old large automatic - movilogo
As I do quite a long commute daily [80 miles total in a small 1.3 L Suzuki Ignis manual], I'm thinking of buying a cheap large automatic [petrol as no diesel available in my budget which is ~£1500].

By delving through Auto Trader, following cars appear to be available in my budget [all of them are having ~150k mileage and engine size not more than 2.0 L]. I am not willing to go engines over 2.0 L because fuel consumption will be terrible then.

Mercedes E class [1995-1999]
Honda Accord/Civic [1995-2000]
Ford Mondeo [the old shape]
Toyota Avensis
Audi A4
Audi A6


I understand at this price range it is a gamble and any major failure will write the car off [then I'll be back to my Suzuki, which I owned form new].

The only reason I am willing to buy a bigger car is because my Suzuki is too small to survive any motorway crash [if that ever happens].

So which one will be your suggestion?

PS: Commuting by train is not an option.
