    Yes they do. It took me all of 2 minutes on google to find that out once I decided to look.

    Thanks bill yes we have looked at getting a skoda, just havent seen one in our price range in our area recently.

    I'd highly recommend them if you can find one. The boot is even bigger than the previous model Mondeo estate and for your budget you're likely to get a nice one. Not at all flashy but good solid cars.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Skoda Octavia, well worth a look but I think they are smaller than the things you have been looking at.

    ETA: I bow to BillScarabs superior knowledge:o they just look smaller (my neighbour has one).

    Mondeo also a decent choice.

    I'll leave it to you to google Isofix this time;):D.

    They are smaller than a Mondeo but they do have very good interior room. The boot on the estate is 580 litres with the back seats up and the parcel shelf in place which compares pretty well with estates from the class above. Even the hatchback has 560 litres but obviously has less space when the seats are down.

    Either the Skoda or the Mazda ( petrol ) are excellent cars, you will not go far wrong with either, try to find a nice low mileage example with a good service history.
