Reliable SUV for 5/6k max

thomasfaller

Hi guys,
We are a family of 3 with 1 baby and relocating to Ireland.
We are looking for a main family car with the following specs :

- SUV would be better as we like the looks and feel of it
- Reliable
- Not too expensive to maintain/service
- Fuel efficient (although it isn't such a priority as we would only use it during weekends, would commute by bus during the week)
- It should be recent enough to have Isofix connectors on the back seat (i think they introduce these in the early 2000s but I'm not sure)
- We like the Nissan Quashqai but it's a little beyond our budget (the cheapest I've seen started at 7.5k) That's just to give you a feel of what we like
- Should not be oversize and easy to handle/park
- Automatic shift isn't a turnoff

Thanks for your help guys !

Something like a petrol Toyota Rav4 or Honda CRV should fit the bill. Everyone is obsessed with diesel cars over here so petrol models of either of these should be bought for decent prices these days. Not sure about the ISOFIX arrangement though.

For example:
