Family car advice

[horchatatresleches]

I'm pregnant with my first and am weighing up keeping my Fiat 500, or getting a bigger family car. If I do get a car with a budget of £10-15,000 which car would you get? Thinking of a small SUV like a Seat Arona or Skoda Kamiq, but open to suggestions. Thanks.

I had a Suzuki swift for the first six months of DS's life, then it blew up and I had to get a car that was in budget quickly , I ended up with a Citroen C4. Now I wouldn't advocate for Citroen but I have no idea how I would've managed with the boot size of the swift. On that basis I wouldn't be keeping the fiat. I'm looking to chop in the Citroen soon and the MG ZS seems to come up at a reasonable price but I have no idea if they're any good

I had a vauxhall Grandland as a work hire car and that was quite nice to drive

I loved my Kamiq. I also loved my Karoq.

I've mainly had toyotas and mazdas and all were excellent cars.
I didn't branch out to a hyundai tucson for a bit which was a lovely big car and as long as you're not expecting a new one they're reasonably priced.
Don't know much about skodas other than loads of taxi drivers use them which usually means they're reliable.
No way will a fiat 500 cut it, I doubt you'd even get most prams in the boot

*did branch out, sorry

We have a VW T Cross as our main family car and it's more than big enough despite being roughly the size of a Polo in width and not much longer. It's a crossover SUV type car so higher up and has a good boot.

I just got a Corsa as a second car only intending it for commuting and it's actually more than big enough for carting a baby and their stuff around day to day.

I wouldn't keep a Fiat500, but there's also no need to upgrade to a massive car like so many people seem to.
