What is the best reliable petrol family car for £15,000?
What is the best saloon or estate car for under £15k? I am looking for a reliable, comfortable and family car. Ideally, I want a 2.0-litre petrol automatic car?

A Toyota Avensis isn't the most exciting choice but should be very reliable - it's got a chain-driven engine and Toyota performs well in our Satisfaction Index. There are more diesels than petrols about but it's available as a saloon or estate. Also consider a Mercedes-Benz C-Class if you'd prefer something more premium.

Much improved interior quality. More refined and better to drive than predecessor. Strong 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engines on facelifted cars.
