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!

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
