Can you recommend a practical car for £15,000?

I need a new or nearly new car for £15,000. I'm quite active and will need something that's reliable, economical and large enough to carry a dog cage and other large items.

I'm not bothered about fashion or looks and am happy with plastic wheels and manual windows. What do you recommend?

Probably a Dacia Logan MCV 1.5 diesel or 90TCe: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/dacia/logan-mcv-2013/
You'll get plenty of change out of your £15k (about £5k).
