What car for me £8k budget

[Chucky91]

Hello all, I currently own a 2008 Focus, poverty spec, now the car itself mechanically is fine but I’ve had it a while and want something different, I have an £8k budget, I want something that is petrol as I only do around 11k a year, but I also want it to be reliable with no known major issues, I would prefer it to be a saloon if possible as I would need room as I plan on starting a family soon, I want it to have a bit of power for when it’s needed, I was looking at Insignias and more specifically the 2014 1.4T model, but I’ve also seen 3 series 2012-2019 model, but I think they have issues with their timing chains? I want something that would be good for the odd motorway trip too as we like to travel a lot, thanks.
