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!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
