What will I replce my Renault Scenic with?

Saw a Ford Fusion for sale. It's on for €2,995. Don't know much about this car. I drive a 2004 Renault Scenic. Had a lot of problems and have to get rid of it. My budget is about €2,500. I would go for another Scenc as I'm used to them, but everyone tells me no. I need some advice as I need an MPV, but know nothing about cars. It's a nightmare for me. But I need to move fast.

Please help

Hi Elaine,

I don't think the Fusion is going to be much good to you if you reckon you need an MPV - it's basically a slightly taller Fiesta and not all that roomy. Have a try and see if it'll fit your needs.

As for another Scenic, sad to say they're just not the most reliable things around. Have a look instead for a Toyota Corolla Verso, a Volkswagen Touran, a Kia Carens or a Mazda5. You'll have to look hard to find one within budget but they are out there.
