Been looking around for a newish car (as in used mainly) for around £6k that will be diesel (need something that'll run on bio-fuels in the not so distant future!) and will have enough room in the back for some icelandic tents and perhaps tow a canoe trailer (not at the same time!)

Anyone got a Hyundai Getz?
