......

IMHO, LPG is a no brainer on a car that you intend to keep and use

in your opinion ...... 

I knew I'd be keeping my car for a while when I bought it, but never ever considered lpg due to lack of boot.

Agreed... That's why I put IMHO

I was concerned about the loss of boot space when I converted my saloon but I rarely missed it After all, even with the tank in the boot was still bigger than many hatchbacks

since converting mine, in about 18 monts since, there has only ever been one time I wished I had the full boot.

Lol, you dont do enough then!

There is no way I could live with a compromised boot

Question is, does AA do enough?

Quite possible, but I did move into my flat with compromised boot. But then again I did steal borrow mother T's estate.

But if that option was not available, i would have hired a van for very few times I've needed it.

A wife, a kid, a garden, a house which gets regular DIY, a stupidly large hobby, a proper tool kit

TBH, I could cope with the saloon purely because I could always use the back seats if I needed to (which wasn't very often)

Plus I had access to an Estate car/trailer if needed

That's one of the reasons the replacement was an estate though... Can cope with the 3" of height I've lost from the boot much more easily

Me too (well, slightly different, I considered it around 7yrs ago, and dismissed it for the same reason as you).

It just damned on me one day, I need the full boot probably 4 times a year at most (have the Rover for lugging big stuff like White goods and wood around), yet not getting access to cheap fuel the rest of the time. So I just bought a pikey box for those 4 times a year I need a bigger boot.

your personal requirements will decide before you..
 
as an example I was having serious parking problems and high fuel costs..
 
as I hate diesels (with any of their expensive parts prices here, you can buy a miggy in UK ) and
fed up of lpg services incompetence (had an lpg car in the past and visited them frequently), I buy a small car with low fuel consumption for daily use.. and I kept miggy..
 
both without lpg.. (have various reasons I wont go in detail here but not for boot space)..
 
now for your decision; if your yearly mileage is high your budget requires some low cost car..
 
either diesel or lpg.. in my opinion the diesel must be low mileage if you dont want to spend extra for repairs after you buy it..which means you will pay your 2-3 years fuel costs just at the beginning.. lpg decision depends your and friends mechanical abilites in which you are surrounded by oofers so you are not alone.. but I cant say lpg installation will be flawless.. anyway you/friends will spend some time for it..and lastly I must say lpg installation must be done on a healthy car otherwise lpg will magnify/complicate the problems and  you will be stressed..
