Hi
The wife and I have a car each, she is currently using the Editon 30 and I have a run around as I have to use my car for work and visit some dodgy areas :scared:
My Picasso just failed its MOT miserably so I'm on the hunt for a second car.
Budget is around £5500
I want something reliable, family sized etc
I've been looking at MK5 Golf Match's which I like but i'm struggling to find one thats half decent for my budget
Can anyone recommend anything else?

Hyundai i10, 11-12 plate for around your budget, fun little car , ideal for the wife. I've just ordered a new generation i10 to replace my 2011 car. Love ours :love:
Cheap as chips to run, ideal for not increasing your monthly transport costs :wink: road tax £20 a year :happy2:

How reliable are they? They look tiny. Will they get 3 kids in the back?

An Altea to a Leon is basically a Golf Plus to a Golf.
Little bit longer, taller and the rear bench can be split and will slide to make the boot bigger.

Was thinking Focus. Loads about at decent prices. Are they to be realiable ?

TBH mate, I wouldn't call VAG equipment reliable, so would happily say... AS reliable as a VW, especially modern Fords.
About 10 years ago now (God I feel old, lol), I had a Mk1 2.0L from 25k to ~125k with a wheel bearing + maintenance in my entire ownership... didn't have any real torque to cause issues though. I'd pick each car on its merits and how nice the condition was personally. :happy2:

I'm 6ft 3 and drive it no problem. £20 of unleaded gives you near as damit 200 miles.
Headroom in the rear is the same as the edition 30 believe it or not, very tardis like in 5 door!.
Hyundai offer a 5 year warranty says standard.
Or if you can stretch your budget, have a look at the new gen i10. Designed in Germany, and it's brilliant. Mine arrives march 1st,

I've purchased a 2008 polo.
I would have gone for the Hyundai Tbh but the wife wasn't keen :stupid:

good to see your wife has taste :happy2:

I've put a deposit on the car (with an independent dealer) and run a HPI check and theres a wanring against the finance.
It says there's a finance agreement found and the agreement date is 13 Jan 2014 through Vehicle Stocking Limited.
Is this cause for concern?
