Can you recommend a family car for a family of six for under £8000?
I currently have a BMW Z4 2.5l with 60,000 miles on the clock on a finance deal. We have three young children and are planning one more. I need to get rid of the Z4 and buy something with multiple seats and storage space for a family of up to six. Important factors include 30+mpg, reasonable running costs, and a budget of around £8000.

Ford S-Max 2.0TDCI, Honda FR-V 2.2CDTI or 2.0i, Kia Carens diesel (best value for money).
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
