I’m currently waiting for help to come and rescue me in my 10 year old Golf. It’s broken down for the second time in as many months and it’s going! Problem is we have no idea what to replace it with.
2 DCs and only 1 car so we wouldn’t want to get anything smaller maybe a bit bigger. DH doesn’t really like SUV style. We’d love an electric car but it would have to be able to do at least 100 miles comfortably on 1 charge which rules out of most of the older models and what’s left is probably out of our price range. If not electric then petrol but not diesel. Would like an automatic but not essential.
Got around £8-9k to spend (inc part exing the Golf) but not against finance/loan to increase the budget.
Hit me with your words of wisdom!!

First thoughts or similar sized would be a seat leon or another golf. I'd also consider a Skoda Octavia estate, ford mondeo estate. Or maybe a Hyundai i30

Yup Octavia is definitely on my list. DH prefers the VW Passat. Friends have and like the i30, it’s v similar to the Golf. Hadn’t thought of the Seat Leon though so will look into that. Thanks!

Just find a garage you trust and ask for advice, a repairs place not a sales one, VW are normally good

If it’s available in the UK a Ford Expedition EL is absolutely amazing. I love it, it has space, comfort and is extremely practical
