Can you recommend a good family car?

Can you recommend a good family car? I have a newborn on the way and am looking to buy a family car in the next 2-3 weeks. I have a budget of roughly €10,500. I'm six-foot-four in height so space is very important. My wife and I also have family down the country so would be making regular trips now and then outside Dublin. In a nutshell, I'm looking for something reliable, pratical, economical and fun to drive. I've been homing in on a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Zetec.

Any advice or other recommendations would be much appreciated.

Should I buy from BMW direct or not?

Thank you so much for answering my other question. You are providing a fantastic service.

I am planning on buying a BMW 520d (2010 or 2011). BMW dealers offer a two-year warranty but charge more for the car. I was wondering if it would be better/possible to buy from another SIMI dealer and maybe purchase a warranty myself from BMW at www.bmw-warranty.ie

Thanks a million, Bill

What car will take three children in the back?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new family car that will take three seats in the back easily. Not looking for a seven seater or so, just something that will take all three kids in the back in comfort - both theirs and also easy to get the seats in - ages 4 1/2, 3 and newborn.
