Granny School run car
Discussion
I would imagine this subject has been done to death, but I can’t find anything recent.
After a car in the £10-£12,000 range to take two/three grandchildren to school etc.
My wife has been using my Q7 which is brilliant, but a bit big for her to park at school gates .
Looking at the school gate, it seems to be Audi Q3‘s and Ford Kuga. I would like something with Parking sensors and cameras as wife’s parking isn’t the best.
Prefer not to have a Ford as the brand is a bit naff (our other cars are mainly BMWs, Porsches and classics)
Any suggestions as to what we should look at? I know Skoda is classed as a naff brand but many years ago I did a evaluation on them and they were great value.

You need a larger budget than that to join the Skoda suv brigade. They are superb cars and in my opinion much better than Audis and VWs.After a car in the £10-£12,000 range to take two/three grandchildren to school etc.

Sounds like a job for a mid sized EV coming off its lease? Just charge it from a normal plug. They're the cheapest solution at present for basic local pottering. Anything ICE has lots of competition but EVs have a limited number of potential buyers. After a car in the £10-£12,000 range to take two/three grandchildren to school etc.

A second hand Tesla model3 is well within budget

Honda Jazz is perfect.
This 100%. The OAP favourite vehicle.Our Jazzs were great - mk1 was hewn from granite and mk2 was pretty good (still have the mk2 in the family). But I think the old people fell out with Jazz from mk3 onwards (2015). Used to see loads of them around us and now they're a rare sight. Mk2's can be bonkers prices considering they're at least 10yrs old now. Honda, and its dealers, used to be awesome, but a lot have been canned or went bust due to lack of sales.
I live in the same road as our village school - there's lots of things like Qashqai and various Korean SUVs. A fair smattering of LR vehicles and Macan / Cayenne. And Volvo SUVs of every size.
