Toyota seems like a good option but I just cannot imagine myself in a hatchback. I’m quite huge in personality with a need for holding a sales team in my car so really confused. 
 

I checked out the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and seems like a decent car. Checked the reviews and forum all good. 
 

Probably because it is my first car and also the fact that a lot of people around me had immense problems with their first cars I am finding it difficult to decide and take a step towards buying a car.

From your recent car suggestions it sounds like you need to sit down and really work out what you NEED from a car and then what else you WANT from a car. All of us have to do this, especially if it's our only car. Once you have that list then do some research on what cars will best meet YOUR NEEDs first (eg budget, insurance, tax, ULEZ, space, mpg, reliability etc.) and then start with that short list to rank it to your WANTs. So head then heart. That way you might be closer to your ideal first car purchase that won't be an expensive mistake.

At that price it would be better to just buy IS300h... any IS300h.  The only positive about the Camry is low mileage, hence the price... but as discussed mileage is kind of the place where savings can be made - provided car was maintained. So paying extra for low mileage car is kid of opposite what one wants to do to get best value for money.
