Best new or used family car for £13,000?
My wife unfortunately managed to write off her Volkswagen Golf today. We need to buy a new family car quickly and can spend up to about £13,000. We know very little about cars. We live near a Motorpoint car supermarket. Are these type of huge operations reputable? Do you have any general thoughts or suggestions on which car we should buy?

For £13k you can buy two new Dacia Sanderos, one new FIAT Tipo, or your could buy a two year old Golf. Take a look at Motorpoint but bear in mind you do not have to buy used.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.

I need a large family car for under £30,000. I need good legroom and a boot capable of taking golf clubs and family luggage. I do about 14,000 miles a year. Ideally, the car should have comfortable heated...
I'm looking at either the Honda Civic 1.5 Sport Plus or the Ford Focus 1.5 EcoBoost ST Line X. I was wondering which you thought was the better option?
My daughter and son-in-law are looking for a medium-sized, family hatchback, SUV or Estate. It needs to take three child seats in the middle row. Sadly, a big Land Rover will not fit in their street.

Plenty of second-hand choice, excellent cabin quality, efficient petrol and diesel engines.

Unbelievably cheap for this size of car, generous interior space and a big boot, reasonably comfortable to drive.
