• More idle musings...

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

  • Get an old V70 and spend that again every year maintaining it

  • Seat probably.

    Pretty sure a mazda 6 estate falls into that £s. Might be a bit big though and they ll probably be higher milage. Whereas £8 will get you a decent low milage Golf.

  • 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.

  • Yeti or golf/Leon wagon. 1.4 tfsi + dsg 7 speed is probably the winner in all of those.
