VW Bora is a great car imo. We have quite a few VWs at work and the MK V Golfs have some electrical problems, but otherwise they all run really well (all diesels). Service at VW is decent as well. Bora is nice if you don't want something too big (like a Passat) but can still comfortably seat adults in the back (or a child seat). Skoda and Seat obviously share most of the parts.

Generali

I need something pretty big as it's going to be carying a baby and a toddler (their seats take up loads of space) and 3 adults too a lot of the time. That's why the Scenic appeals as it's got 3 separate seats across the back so the poor old adult in there isn't going to get crushed.

According to that AA thing, the going price for the Renault is £2-3k with that mileage. If I keep it for 3 years and then sell it for £800, that means it's cost £4-700 p.a. in depreciation which sounds ok.
