Family estate cars for £5000

I'm after an estate car for my family - 2 adults and a child. I'm specifically looking for a reliable car, big boot space, roof bars, ISOfix seat anchors and I have a maximum of £5k to spend. We'll only average around 6000 miles per year tops.

I know of an 07 please Passat TDI 2.0 L for sale - however I read loads on this site about them (mostly negative), so i'm starting to think I should steer clear of it! I really know nothing about cars and have to admit I HATE car shopping so I'm in severe danger of buying something just to get the task over and done with, hence I'm in danger of buying the wrong car.

I'd look at the KIA cee'd and Hyundai i30 SWs.
