Loving my 5 year old Toyota auris
43,000 on clock
£8,500
Automatic
A doddle to drive
Spacious without being huge
It’s about my 8 th Toyota and none of the others gave me any problems
It also has a parking camera at the rear and it turns itself into a phone when someone rings you
Bloody amazing that

We love our Skoda Fabia estate. We bought a 4 year old one well within your budget, and it's quite high spec - air con, cruise control, digital radio, parking sensors etc. It has lots of boot space and is plenty big enough for our family of four.

Good luck choosing, there are so many different cars aren't there!

I've just bought an astra estate today. 3 years old, 17,000 miles on the clock, diesel and auto which makes it more expensive but still only 10k. It's very spacious and according to the advert can fit 3x child seats in the back seat. Boot is amazing.

I also have a Ford Focus estate and I really like Fords, they go for ever.

I had been looking at Kia Ceeds and Optimas which have good reviews but couldn't find one with the spec I wanted nearby.
