Looking for family car

average_runner

Any one got good recommendations for a fmaily car. Looking for something that is value for money.


Currently looking at the Nissan Qashqie. Any opinions on this?

Max Power1

what budget, mileage, usage etc?

The Qashqie is brand new, no milage on it.

Our budget is around 27000 grand. Either looking for a good second 09/10(demo) with low mileage or a new car!

damn - beaten to it!

On a serious note, While I amnt a huge fan of the Qasqai, you cant go too far wrong with the japanese cars. Certainly a better option than say a Renault.

Thats actually quite funny.

On the Skoda note - €27,000 and hard bargaining should get you a new Superb 2.0Tdi 140 Ambition, which is more car than most people will ever need.

Might even get you a demo Elegance model.

The amount and ages etc of kids would be handy to know. It will make a difference. ie 4 kids automatically rules out a 5 seat car.

Think if I needed a new smallish family motor at the moment I'd be down taking a look at a Skoda Yeti.

Which part? Japanese cars are famed for their reliability (except recent toyotas, on which you now get a 5 year warranty), whereas renaults (and most other french marques) are a pile of shite that depreciate quicker than they reach 60mph.

The part where you use Renault and Nissan as opposite poles when making your point.

Ah touché , I knew they did some of the engines on the newer micra's but I was unaware that they were linked other than that.

The depreciation comment still stands though.
