My old Megane Scenic from 2003 is dying. Luckily I am due to come into a bit of money soon so I think I really have to bite the bullet and buy a new car. I'm after something similar, ie can get 3 kids in the back easily, reasonable boot space, driver sits high up with good view of the road. (I drove a courtesy car the other day and couldn't believe how horrible it was sitting down low, and I felt like I couldn't see out!). It needs to be robust and reliable as I drive 80 miles for work three days a week. I have no particular views about brand (don't care what it looks like really) and will be buying second hand. Have no idea what cars even cost nowadays but I'm hoping I can get something for about £4000 max. Any thoughts/suggestions?
