What 2008 car would suit my growing family?

What is the best family car - toddler and a baby family? I'm buying used approx 2008 and probably won't change for around five years so I'm not looking for any resale value.

Thanks.

Hi Rosie,

Ah, toddler and baby. Been there. You probably don't need anything much bigger than a family hatchback, really. Probably best to track down a nice Skoda Octavia hatchback - the boot's big enough to cope with buggies and (eventually) bikes and scooters but they're not expensive to run. If your mileage is low, consider a petrol one as the lower purchase price will more than cover the extra cost of the fuel.

What do you think?
