Can you see the xls attachment in this link? https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14759411/
Those are some of the options we looked at below your budget with the same requirements.
From memory I would look at:
- Golf
- Skoda Octavia
- Hyundai i30? (Good VFM)
- Civic (not sure about insurance)
- Toyota Auris (drive one to make sure you like the position, I did, OH didn't)
Also have a look at the Mazda 3, but unless something obvious comes up I'd skip it as imo good ones aren't sold in the UK.
At that budget skip Audi.
Honda Jazz too I guess. I thought it would be a bit small for our long journeys to France. But after seeing a some friends do a road trip to/from Hungary I think that was possibly misplaced. Although the Golf is ultimately a nicer place to be.
IDK how old your kid(s) is/are, but we found you only need loads of boot for the first 0~6m when you've got the stupid basinet attachment. So if the majority of your miles are in a city prioritize parking and maneuverability over marketing-lead aspirations of cruising on the Autobahn.

It looks like I may need to finally get a car. Would mainly be used around London and not that heavily but would also be used for the occasional journey to see my parents which is a 500 mile round trip.
Needs to be automatic, four doors, cheap insurance and baby friendly (boot big enough for a buggy, Isofix). Any suggestions on what kind of thing I should be looking at around the £5k mark?
Cheers
