Family Cars - what would you recommend - Page 2

~lauren~ · Jan 10th, 2010, 12:15 PM

I would thoroughly recommend getting a VW Golf!
I've always had a VW (before I got pregnant, I had a polo) and I can honestly say I think they're the best cars ever! I've had absolutely no problems driving round in the snowy conditions at the moment whereas everyone else I know seems to have been completely stuck. There's loads of room in them too, mine's got split rear seating and it's really quite powerful!

Maybe i'm being a bit biased here because of my loyalty

but VWs best in my opinion! xx

Hiya.

I have a mazda premacy and there is stacks of space inside with an enormous boot and you can pick them up second hand very resonably

We traded our Clio in for a Peugot 307... the thing that sold us was the HUGE boot.

I love my vauxhal zaferia- can have a big boot or extra seats, handy for days out with friends with children, also am now preg with my second and its so much easier on my back to get my little boy in and out of because its higher up and its easier for me to get in and out of because its higher up

Pretty sure nobody would consider our Toyota Tacoma a family car, but we love our truck!

Thanks guys. Lots of recommendations for the ford focus and VWs! I havent looked at VWs yet so will add that to my list of potentials too

definatly the focus. iv had the newer shape one 56 plate and it was the 1.6 diesel. Its really comfortable lots of space and a big boot for a not big not small car. It holds the road pretty darn well and has more power than i expected. I really like it its great on fuel and just generally a nice car to drive
