What should I replace my Fiesta with?

I have a Ford Fiesta 1.25 Edge 2009 but need to replace it, I am happy with 3 or 5 door but need to fit 5 people in the car sometimes. I would like a newer car to keep repair costs down. I mainly do town driving. Budget approximately £5000. I appreciate it might not be possible but heated seats would be lovely.

If you are happy with your Fiesta and it is large enough for your needs you could consider replacing it with a newer model, or an alternative such as the Volkswagen Polo or Hyundai i20. If you need something larger, you could look at the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, Skoda Octavia or Hyundai i30. All of these vehicles were available with heated seats, but you may have to search to find one equipped with this feature.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
