    I am replacing my 2006 Toyota Corolla for a different car that has lighter steering. A high safety rating would be important. My main journeys are out and about for shopping, however, I would like it to be reliable enough to venture farther. I'm not really fussed about a make, model or year. Do you have any suggestions?

    The world is your oyster here, Myra, and there are literally hundreds of makes and models that will do what you want as well offer the five-star safety rating you’re looking for. Your priorities are spot on, too; safety and the driving characteristics (in this case, steering weight) are very important in how you relate to the car and enjoy driving it.

    Since you’re not too concerned with what brand you buy, the best advice is to short-list a few cars that fall within your budget and then go and test drive each one, checking that it steers the way you like it. Even small hatchbacks nowadays have the safety and performance to take you pretty much anywhere the road goes. But for longer journeys, you might appreciate features such as cruise control and a full-sized spare tyre.
