My daughter returns from a lengthy stay in Bangkok with her family, as her husband now has a job in Luton. He will have a company car and she needs one for herself. She has 3 boys, 10, 7 and 8 months. In Bangkok she has been driving a Honda Jazz whilst her husband has had a Honda CR-V not the present model. The Jazz is too small, she feels, and she does not wish to have a 4-wheel drive. It seems that the CR-V was expensive to run in Thailand. Years back with just two boys she had a Volvo V40, which she liked but the V50 now seems too small. Her budget is between £15,000 and £20,000 and she is prepared to consider a low mileage second-hand car as well as new. She would be looking for reliability and reasonably low running costs. I am unsure of annual mileage, say 8k to 10k, but many journeys would be school runs of, say 12 miles in total.
