Need a family hatchback for £7000 - any recommendations?

Due to becoming a father, I am looking to upgrade my partner's 2006 Vauxhall Corsa to a family hatchback/SUV. Main points are: bootspace, economy (min 40mpg mix then petrol, if not diesel), reliability, warranty and spec. I have £7000 to spend. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
