Can you recommend a family car?
I don't drive a lot, say less than 5,000 miles per year, and have a budget around £10,000. The car is mainly for social use, I drive at most twice per week, except holiday. I used to have an Audi A3 and I want a family car with slightly more space.

If you can find one with the 1.4 TSI petrol engine, a Skoda Octavia Estate might be a good option. It'll be a very practical choice with low running costs that'll be fine with short journeys and occasional use. Even the hatchback version could be worth a look as it'll be bigger than your A3 was. A Honda Civic could be a good alternative.

Roomy. More load space than the old car. Flexible and practical. Haldex clutched 4WD Scout version.

Bigger than previous Civic, independent rear suspension means better ride and handling, 1.0 VTEC turbo petrol is excellent while i-DTEC diesel is very refined.

Extremely comfortable with excellent ride quality. Great practicality and a large boot. Even better quality inside than its predecessor. Impressive all-rounder.
