    I'm looking for a car that's economical, just for me — a 60-year-old woman — but able to go on weekends away and perhaps over long distances. I want good back support and something I can sit up in. I have looked at Honda HR-V and Kia Sportage, but would prefer a hatchback with all bells and whistles and not a four-wheel drive. I would hope to have it for 10 years.

    I'd suggest you wait, just a little, and investigate the new breed of compact SUVs. Right now you can choose from the Subaru XV and Renault Captur, which I give The Tick, but soon enough there will also be a Mazda CX-3 that looks like the pick of the litter.
