Need a cheap, used family car with low running costs
Can you recommend a used family car that's reliable, safe, economical and low in maintenance? I have £3500 to spend.

Probably a KIA Cee'd or a Hyundai i30, but better with a six-speed gearbox because the 1.4 and 1.6 five-speed petrol models are low geared for the motorway.
