What car should I replace my old 2008 Mazda 3 with?

Our old car is now starting to age and want to replace it. It is used for commuting approximately. 25 miles a day and for family journeys with my partner, dog and occasional grown-up son to transport. We holiday in South West France twice a year
The budget to replace it is £10,000. Can you advise me on the best options?

A Skoda Octavia would be a very practical replacement for your Mazda 3 - especially if you buy an estate version. A Honda Civic would be a reliable and spacious alternative. Or maybe an SUV like the Toyota RAV4.
