Rear legroom and decent boot, advice please!

    Sorry for the random question but my head is wrecked from looking at cars so hoping for some help. Currently driving a 03 ford focus that hasn't caused an ounce of bother in 5 years but unfortunately due to rust its starting to become cost prohibitive for nct so need a change.

    Have 2 young children who are just getting bigger and legroom is becoming an issue and also need a decent sized boot (focus size is fine). My driving is very minimal on a daily basis just runs around town so nothing major but would do a decent motorway drive about once a month so could look at diesel.

    I was considering a c max which seems to have more space overall but not sure if an estate car would be better and if they give as much room (it seems I would get better value for money with an estate)

    Anyway any advice would be grateful basically looking to come up a few years maybe 09/10 and needs good rear legroom an boot size!!!

    Superb is excellent, in a class of its own really.

    Mondeo is good, we have a Kuga amd a Tiguan, both have very good rear leg room, the boot in the Tiguan is smal with the Kuga being a decent space.

    Thanks for the responses hadn't considered a skoda to be honest so will have a look.
    I'm probably leaning towards the mondeo or c max as have had Ford's for the last ten yrs with no issues with any of them.

    With regards those two options has anyone any feedback on the c max especially the 09/10 models as I've no experience of them just like the space they offer and would petrol or diesel be a better option there.

    Although I do like the mondeo I'm conscious that a lot of that era would have very high mileage so would need to be careful there I think.

    You definitely don't want a diesel from the driving you describe and spacious petrols are rare enough.

    This would be a good bet.
