With a little one on the way I'm starting to look into upgrading the '03 Focus I've had for a fair few years to something larger (chucking a bike in the boot easily a bonus) and more reliable - Vauxhall Zafira Tourers seem to strike a great balance of cost/features/space vs dimensions/safety etc, followed by Citroen C4s and non 1.2 PureTech 3008s.
Usual question probably, but how's people's view on Autotrader/Dealerships/Private sellers and/or best places to look at? The much-advertised Cinch and Cazoo seem very expensive compare to anything else.
Only bought one car before (the aforementioned Focus) and that was from a good friend, so it's a wholly new world to explore for me and feels like a bit of a minefield...!
