searching for new vehicle

hi!

I am currently driving a Renault Twizy. My hopes concerning efficient transportation have been dissapointed so i need a new vehicle.
I have had the twizy now for 15 month and drove 27.000 km. I paid for "fuel" (=electricity) less than 100 €, but the other costs are just too high. The brakes get worn out too fast and so do the tires. The twizy has a lot of issues and has to go.

I read about the Honda Innova and Honda Wave and got really excited. Less than 2 L/100 km petrol, 2000 € new buying price, low insurance costs.
My girlfriend and i travel a lot and i dont know if that is possible with such a vehicle. We did two europe-trips with my twizy (from Germany to Great Britain and France) so little space and problematical weather conditions are not bothering us. But we have to carry some luggage (tent, sleeping bags etc). How much luggage could you fit on a Honda Wave?
I also thought about buying two Waves, but two will consume the same fuel of a little car.

A VW Up! Ecofuel or Mii CNG/Citigo CNG would be great but with 10.000 € its too expensive. Also a regular Up! or a Mitsubishi Space Star would fit, but they are also too expensive. The benefits of a car would be that we could sleep in it, would be safe from rain etc and could travel more comfortable.

Maybe you have some suggestions about a suitable vehicle. Some efficient vehicle between Wave and Space Star.

I nearly went to the next Honda dealer today to buy a Wave. I was so excited to be able to drive with 300 € for fuel to China.


greetings from Germany,
peak
