Hi Guys.
At the moment we have a three door clio. We are looking for a car that would suit the needs of the above.
Price guide would be around the 10-12k mark.
What everyone else with family drive?? and what do you think about it.???

The Yaris Verso is a bit of an odd looking car, but it is superb. And well within your budget.
Very solidly built. Reliable and safe. Have a look to see if it takes your fancyDONE: Great North Run 09! Raised £452 for the National Autistic Society

I know its not a 'KOOL' car but I cannot recommend my Vauxhall Zafira too highly... There is so much space and the two extra seats that fold completely flat in the rear space are wonderful if the grandkids want to bring a couple of mates along on a trip.........#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

I have to agree with tanith - we have a Zafira, and it's fab. Loads of room for hubby, child and dog, as well as assorted luggage!

We have a Zafira and I'd recomend it too.
Don't have a dog but tend to be a "chuck everything in the back" kind of family. Plus it's really handy when the relatives visit.0 -
Seat Leon... 5 door and a HOOGE boot!!! Stick 2 dogs in the back of mine no probs!!! Good engines too and VW/Audi build quality.. will go for miles too!!
If your gonna got MPV/People Carrier (but there's no need too!) then the Citroen Picasso... they are sooooooo good value for money and super ride too... but being French the build quality wont' be as good!Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 092
