18k fun family car recommendations
Discussion
Afternoon!
My wife and I are looking to buy an SUV as our first family car. We are reluctant to walk down the Sportage & Qashqai route as we both enjoy driving but are mindful of needing adequate space for our first child, of which we have not much experience with in terms of the kit which follows them (pushchairs, changing bags etc on top of daily trips to the shop/family).
Remit:
-18/19k
-Fun
-SUV style for easier loading of children/car seats
-Ample boot
-Petrol
-4/5yrs old
-Sub 40k miles
Top of our shortlist at the moment is the F60 Mini Countryman S (190bhp). We are fairly interested in the X1 2.0 petrol but these are slightly out of budget.
Any recommendations on the cars or whether we should put practicality first would be appreciated!
