My son in law is in need of another car and has up to £5k.
What are the suggestions for something petrol, economical and above all reliable to carry 2 adults and 2 children under 3 with all the paraphenalia that children need nowadays ie pram, pushchair bags etc.
His last car was a Volvo estate which was perfect for comfort and economy but let down on reliability due to its age. Its now up for sale for spares due to a clutch problem and too expensive to fix.
My thinking is either a Ford ,Honda or Kia for reliability and maybe a small MPV?
Nothing Mercedes have are really an option currently.
