2nd car suggestions

Hello :hello:

Considering buying a second car when we've paid our final debt off and saved up a bit. We already have a 7 seater family car so this would just be for going to and from work to try and save on fuel costs and to make life a bit easier. I was hoping you guys could give me some suggestions so I could look into it a bit more and see if it's feesable.

Requirements:

£30 or less car tax bracket
Economical ( round trip of 20miles is likely to be the longest, perhaps up to 35 miles, dual carriageway and town)
Small, but big enough to fit 2 kiddos in the back if necessary.

Other than that not particularly fussy.

Budget up to 3k but willing to look at other possibilities.


Many thanks for any help :kisses:
