Good sized estate low insurance - dodo

My sister needs a largish estate car to replace her ageing Galaxy. Youngest daughter will be 17 in the summer and will need to drive. Additionally the vehicle needs to be able to transport 2 large dogs. Ideally diesel new and bought on PCP at £175-£225 per month with the old Galaxy (£1500?) as deposit. All thoughts appreciated.

Dacia Logan MCV 1.2

Expected to start on band 3 for insurance.

Will be cheap to buy, run and insure.

Yes it is a possibility but it's one ugly awkward looking vehicle! Went with her today to look at a new Seat Toledo which is a lovely driving car in 1.2Tsi form

Thanks and yes most competitive. Current No1 is a Skoda Yeti 1.2Tsi that comes in very competively. Nice car too with loads of room and a small overall 'footprint'.

The Yeti looks like a good idea, and has comemout very well in the latest JD Power suirvey. Just make sure that it isn't too high for the dogs to get in and out.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
