Recommendations for a cheap family car, and how best to buy one? Family circumstances mean it's likely to be cheaper to buy a car (my first) rather than continue renting when I need one. Typical usage will be semi-local family trips at weekends, and occasional 250-mile round-trips to see family with 2 adults, 2 kids, and some luggage. Total yearly mileage would be about 5K miles. Bonus points if I can fit bikes in the back for Audax etc. Budget is £3-4K; if necessary I can stretch that by a grand or two if it's likely to mean a lower TCO over the next couple of years. I don't care about cool or the driving experience as long as it's not utterly miserable. I guess I don't want a diesel from an emissions perspective?
