V50 is a great car. The boot isn't huge, due to the wheel arches. I can fit a pushchair, travel cot and most of the stuff for a weekend in the boot - and bike on the roof - there's usually over-spill into the cabin though. It's fine for two adults up front and a kid in a child seat, but think I'd get something bigger for any more kids.
The aircon is a weak point, so if you're looking, check it's working and whether the condenser has been replaced recently. Other than that, the only stuff I've shelled out for is a new set of tyres and some disc back-plates.

Skoda Yeti, Volvo V50, Golf/Focus Estate. Up to £8k - anything else to consider?
