I'd definitely avoid ULEZ friendly diesels, the emissions stuff is just too complicated and unreliable. Unless you're doing lots of miles, I'd go for an older non-turbo petrol and something with 3 proper seats, since an Octavia or Superb will still be tight in the back. Something like this should be pretty bulletproof

Whats DHB/Decathlon of cars?
My purpose is to haul family of 5 (parents, us and a child) for longer trips. I currently own a Fabia estate, absolutely amazing car except when 3 people have to sit at the back; very narrow with a child car seat. Its primo bangernomics, bought for £2k pre pandemic and had 2 owners and 95k miles on clock, its been absolutely fine.
I am looking for a similar economics; i know I cant get anything for £2k; can stretch to £10k. need to be slightly wider at the back with no compromise in boot space, the Fabia I have has 480 litre boot. I was looking at:
I know nothing about cars so I would buy from a dealer OR if its a really good deal with a private seller will factor in AA inspection.
What else should I look at? Are the cars on the list absolute shit?
Pls help.
