Our current Golf MK6 1.6 TDI has been a great car, but will soon not pass the ULEZ. We have a 3yr old and 5yr old, so need a family car that suits our needs. Petrol and auto preferably. Budget is max £20k.
Dilemma is, the wife is concerned about having something too big, and would be happy just having a newer Golf. My concern is we will outgrow this pretty quickly (kids getting bigger, family holidays with all the luggage, etc). It’s alredy a push when we go for a week away (roof box and foot wells fully loaded).
Wife isn’t a fan of SUVs and tend to agree (ride quality and usable boot space). Am I wrong? Estate is an option, but need the wife to be able to drive this as well so maybe too big? Or simply a case of her adjusting? I guess for the family car owners out there how much space really is needed?
Is there a good middle option I’m missing? Any advice?
