We had a Nissan Note which was really family friendly. The interior feels much larger than it looks (my husband is very tall also and this car felt the most comfortable to him), and the boot can fit a decent sized buggy and a bit of shopping or a very large suitcase (not much more than that though). There are little tables built into the seat backs that fold out for your passengers, a feature I miss now in our current car.


There is a dealer in Penge that we bought from (think it's called Ancaster?), and we have no complaints. It's an easy bus ride from ED so that's helpful for repairs. We had a minor accident in Kent and the local Nissan dealer treated us as if we were their most important customers; very impressive.


The Penge dealer has a number of models in your price range right now.... they were great about letting us spend time driving each option and the sales person could not have been nicer or more helpful. I would buy that car from that dealer again, no question. Good luck!

Skoda octavia estate here too for family with a 3 and 1 yr old - enormous boot and if you get the vrs quite a bit of oomph. And parking sensors - important!! Only complaint would be with 2 car seats in the back there's not much room for a passenger in the middle - but this could be common to most non 3 seater width cars.

I don't own an Octavia, but I had a VRS estate hire car earlier this year. Very solid build, great to drive - as you say, quite a lot of oomph. Really impressed!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
