Family car £10k, massive boot
Discussion
Hi everyone, I'm looking to replace my f20 1 series with a large family car. It will need space for two car seats and a double pram.
We have a g20 3 series saloon too but it's a bit on the small side. With a car seat in the back the front seats have to be really far forward.
I'm thinking 2011/12 5 series, maybe a 5 GT if the budget can stretch that far, Mondeo estate or a Superb.
What recommendations do you have? A curve ball is always appreciated, I have looked on AT for those Infiniti FX things too but the boot may not be big enough.
I would also like to to be reliable. Breaking down with my wife and two small children wouldn't be too clever.
Thanks!

Are insignias and Mazda 6s that big? I always thought they were 3 series size. A lot of options then.
Nothing too exciting but I know how something boring that is exceptionally good at it's job can get under your skin.
Whilst I would drive the Viano, I don't think my wife would be too impressed 😁

Thank you everyone for the replies.
I think I have narrowed it down to a Mondeo or a Superb.
Last question for both cars... Late previous model or earlier lower spec new model? This is more applicable to the Superb.
The previous Mondeo can come in Titanium X spec which has great wheels and lovely alcantara seats. Not sure I would want the very dated interior though.

A 3 Series should be adequate but it isn't. We have a 3 series and the problem is, if the car seat is behind me as a driver, I cannot get my seat into a comfortable position. When we have two car seats in a few months time, there will be no option to have the child seat behind the passenger.
Also, prams are huge so a double won't fit if we need to take anything else.
