Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place but I need help deciding on a new car, if anyone knowledgable can offer their wisdom please?
I've had a Ford C-Max for a long time which is now 13 years old, it's been fantastic but is now starting to need a few jobs doing on it so it's time for a new car.
We are 2 adults, 2 tall teens, an 8 year old and a small dog. Although I would like a car big enough to fit us all in (the cmax does but it's a squash now!), it's unlikely that we'll be doing many or any road trips/holidays all together with any regularity so it doesn't need to be huge. Eg an S Max feels too big. Generally it's just me, and 1/2 child and sometimes the dog as I'm ferrying to different activities etc.
I like the height of the CMax and dont like being in other saloon like cars that feel low down. I'm slightly nervous of driving or rather parking a bigger car.
I've seen reasonably priced Dacia Sandero Stepways but am finding it hard to judge the internal size of these and whether they'd have enough legroom in the back. I've seen Kia Sportage mentioned on previous threads too but again hard to judge without seeing.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
