Replacing a Focus with a modern counterpart

I currently have a Focus (51 reg) as we are a family of 4. It is coming to an end and I am looking for a similar sized car, that is reliable and economical to run. Any advice would be much appreciated.

KIA cee'd or Hyundai i30. New model or facelift model. Facelifts very good value at the moment. Petrol engines need 6 speed box or are too low geared for the motorway.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
