Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice again due to the impending arrival of baby no.2 and as you were all very helpful the first time around I thought I would ask again.
We currently have a 5dr Yaris which is ample at the moment but really won't be big enough, especially in the boot department when the time comes.
I've managed to steer the mrs away from getting an SUV (Qasquai was top of the list) as I'm really not a fan and when looking at reviews of them, I think someone on here posted that both the Mk1 and Mk2 were in the top 10 for least reliable.
She is now looking at the general larger family hatchback but nothing too big, with the Focus now heading the list with the Astra just behind, as the mrs will be using it for the majority of the time.
I'm leaning that way as well as Fords seem to have really stepped it up over the last few years and they look pretty decent, are plentiful on the 2nd hand market and good value.
From a budget point of view I'm thinking around he £7k mark but that isn't set in stone and from an age point of view, no older than 5 years I would say. From what I have seen on Autotrader there seem to be a decent number about and I've seen a couple of Titaniums that fit the bill.
I would appreciate any advice and whether I should consider anything else.
Many thanks
Andy
