Need a baby friendly automatic used car
I'm looking to buy a used automatic vehicle that is as safe and modern for £5k. I am due to have a baby next year and it would be great to get something reliable and safe.
So far I have looked at the Vauxhall Astra and Ford Fiesta, from 2010, and can find some bargains. The car must have low mileage, smooth auto gearbox, five doors and a boot big enough for a buggy. What do you recommend?

Nice to drive, but such serious issues with Fiesta PowerShift clutch packs that Ford is being ordered to buy the cars back in some countries. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/fiesta-2013/?se.../ You're probably best off with a Hyundai i10 1.25 4-speed auto or a KIA Picanto 1.25 4-speed auto.
