Recommend a car for my missus
My missus uttered those magic words to me today -
'I fancy a new car'...
So, we need something to replace the Fabia vRS. We want something new or nearly new (year old max).
The car must have plenty of boot space for a pram (as I'm going to be a dad in 5 months
).
The logical choice would be an Octavia - but SWMBO reckons they are too big
So, bigger than a Fabia and smaller than an Octavia.
It must be reasonably economical, with a bit of power. £14k as an absolute maximum. She doesn't like Fords...
Any ideas?

I've got an 06 Leon TDI Sport.
I found the Fabia VRS too small for everyday use. The car has loads of room and a good sized boot too. Its also fully loaded.
I hope you can find one for your budget. I got mine for £15.5K 3 weeks ago.
At the very least take one out ofr a test drive.

I was under the impression that the saloon equivalent will have a bigger boot without having to resort to folding the seats down...

Yeah I think we need to go and have a look around.
We've also got a WRX, but there's no way kids will be going in that!!! At least, not yet
