We’ve had a manual gear Vauxhall Meriva 1.4 Life for approx 8 years and it’s a decent family car. My wife used to have an automatic Honda Civic before our kids came along which she loved. I have driven a manual geared Peugeot 206 Sw which waa really comfortable to drive, just a pita when simple things went wrong - can’t remember the fault but the whole dashboard had to come out to access a wiring loom. Wife also had a manual Nissan Micra when her Civic was written off because of some idiot, she loved it and I hated it both enjoy the Meriva.

We have a Ford S-Max 2ltr Auto Diesel as the family car, it's 5 years old, done 25k miles and been great. It does 40 mpg, can carry 7 and to date has run faultlessly. Also it is excellent for tip runs as all the seats lay flat and it is huge inside. Probably better with a petrol if you don't do the miles though, we don't and have been warned about the filters even from Ford themselves.

The misses has a Ford Kuga (previously had a Focus). The Kuga has a higher driving position like my van and is a good 5 seater with the power to match from a 1.5l petrol turbo engine. The usual Ford features like heated windscreen are useful when she sets off the early shifts in the winter.

We bought this last year 3 years old and had been on a motorbility contract - only had 16k miles on the clock, so add the 7K the misses does and we'll be keeping this a long time
