Best used estate for under £4?
We want to buy a used estate for £4000. We have two medium sized dogs, two grandchildren and need something that will be reliable and have around 40,000 miles on the clock. We’d also prefer a manual, what do you suggest?

Maybe a KIA cee'd or Hyundai i20 SW. But the Australian Mitsubishi Lancer estate has a good reliability record, assuming you can actually find one.
