We have our first child arriving in six months and have £13,000 to spend on a used car that needs to be safe, reliable, spacious and hopefully cheap to run/insure. We need a decent sized boot and are looking at estates as well as hatchbacks. Our challenge is that my wife is short and I am very tall, so we need a car that suits us both. The Skoda Octavia is too big for her and the Fabia estate too small for me. What do you suggest we buy?
