Can you recommend a family vehicle for a £15,000 budget?

I have up to £15,000 for a new used family vehicle. I am stuck as to what to purchase. I need a reliable and comfortable car for journeys or family trips out on the weekend, and during the week to and from work.

You won't go wrong with a Volkswagen Golf. It's a very comfortable family car that's ideal for long journeys. £15,000 will get you a 2017 or 2018 model with the eager 1.4 or 1.5 TSI petrol engine. Also consider an SUV alternative like the SEAT Ateca. This guide might be useful, too: www.honestjohn.co.uk/guides/best-used-cars-under-1.../
