Tell me which car I should buy

I need to get a car but I have no idea what to go for. I passed my test several years ago but I've never needed to get a car before now. I've never owned a car before and no idea where to start.

I have one DC with another on the way so I need something 5 door, safe and reliable.

I'm quite a nervous passenger and driver and so I doubt I'll be doing much motorway driving. I need something that could cope with hills though as where I live is very hilly so it needs a bit of oomph.

I want something that doesn't feel as though it's made of paper. It needs a decent boot for buggy/shopping etc.

I will have a max of about £6k to spend. Not fussy about it looking cool or having loads of extras. A hybrid would be great.

So what should I get?...

Volkswagen Golf 5DR. Perfect size, nice to drive in and boot is a good size too.

Better yet, if you need a large boot then an Astra Estate will be your best option but that's quite big.

VW Golf sounds exactly like what you need
