Answer 1

Vauxhall Meriva, its got a huge boot and a great back seat, we can fit 3 car seats on ours. You should get a decent one for your budget and they last ages.

Toyota Corolla  VVTI GLS - they never go wrong.

Answer 5

Japanese (NOT KOrean) are generally very good Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi a have best reputations.

Avoid anything by General Motors Vauxhall as they have big problems later , Ford are OK as are VW, but BMW have huge problems as they get older.

try autotrader for current availability and also check out which Car in your library as they give unbiased opionions on used cars.

An Yes Daewoo Kia and Hyundai dont rate too good as new or used.

Mazda 3
