Buying a car with space for three in the back
We need to replace a Golf 1.9TDi (company car) as a 2nd car for the family - two adults and four children aged 12,9,6 and 4.

Originally the Golf was chosen because it could cope with 2 car seats in back plus one child in middle unlike the Focus/Astra. We still need that capacity but now as a private buy.

Will do only short journeys ferrying children around and short drive to work as we have a Grand Scenic to take all of us out.

Budget of up to £8k. What would you recommend as options? I have no preferences. Might be nice to have some power in it!

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
