Need help to decide.
Looking for reliable car that can take two kids in the back plus pram, etc in the boot. Nothing flash. Am considering the Focus 1.6 petrol or Tino 1.8 petrol: both are coming in at £6k for a 2 1/2 year old model.
Run around town plus a couple of 60 mile round trips a week.

All help greatly appreciated.

    Well the Nissan will probably be the more practical, in that it's more of a mini-MPV rather than a family hatchback like the Focus.The Focus will be a better driving experience and both should prove reliable, cost effective motoring.Take them both for a spin (ensuring you take the pram and kids with you if possible) and see what you think :)

    Dont forget the Focus CMax which may tick all the boxes
