• My sister needs a car for transporting 3 kids. Mostly short journeys. In Edinburgh so ULEZ compliant would be good (I think they’re introducing a ULEZ system, or there’s one on the horizon at least).
    Basically, what’s an estate that’s aimed at short journeys rather than a motorway mile munching diesel and that’ll be easy to get kids in and out of. Finger in the air budget of 7-12k.

  • Toyota auris / corolla hybrid estate? No idea how much they go for but might fit the bill for suitability for short journeys and ulez

  • My brother has an Auris estate (which makes me cry inside every time I see it), and it feels surprisingly cramped inside.
    Deffo reliable but the more I read, the more it seems MPVs are the avenue to go down (for pure child shuttling duties anyway).

    Not sure about 3 kids, although as one of them is older it might not be an issue. The boot is decent, but shallow cause of the batteries.
