Spec me a car for the mrs.

[C8LNJ]

Able to fit 2x kids under 2 in the rear and their associated luggage, double pram/buggy etc and room for some shopping with ease in the boot.
Good for snow, so 4x4.
Price wise, either 10-15k or more if theres any outstanding 0% finance deals available on new.
Manual - she says.....
Diesel.
Nice looking, not OAP or people carrier-like.


Anyone got experience with this sort of a list?

My thoughts initially (and ive not spent a great deal of time looking yet) are used Kuga, CRV, Volvo XC.., or new CTR or the likes.

What about a Dacia duster. ticks all the boxes on your list I think.

Skoda Yeti. Lovely little things.

Does she do alot of miles to need a diesel? If its not alot then your better with petrol, they are cheaper so you would get a slightly nicer car.

Subaru Legacy/Outback.

12kp/a I was just thinking about the mpg, good point I guess regarding the fuel economy v's price.

Whats the Kia 4x4 ive seen plenty of recently!?

[KTF]

KIA Sportage probably.

If I was thinking along those lines it would be an RS4 avant.

[Tophatron]

I'd say a Ford Kuga.

[telecat]

Suzuki Swift 4x4. Saw one the other day.

Skoda Octavia?

It's available in 4WD with a diesel and even the hatchback has a huge boot.

[tannedstamina]

I'd say this would fit the bill.

I'd agree, have a thing about Fords though.

Probably cheaper than a Yeti. Mine is very useful for what it does. In the village where I live, 5 out of the 20 or so cars are Octavia 4x4s or Octavia Scouts.

If you can get one within the OPs budget then I'd agree
