My New(ish) Car; What shall I buy next?

OK guys - here's one to keep you busy for a while <thumbs>

I need a different set of wheels.

I currently drive my dinky Suzuki Jimny but it's just not big enough to transport me and the two mini Fords around the country to visit my family. It's too cramped in the back and has no boot space whatsoever <blink>

So am looking for ideas on what car to buy next - it'll have to be 2nd hand as I don't have enough dough to buy a new one and have 5 doors and enough space for the 3 of us to get around comfortably.

Current top contenders are the Peugeout 307, the Citroen C4 (but only the red one) or the Honda Civic.

Ideas on a postcard please :D

ps...please remember I'm a girlie and all cars look the same to me so nice descriptions or piccies needed <thumbs>

Don't get a 307... they are very unreliable, and the electrics are rather dodgy.

Honda make some nice cars - Think civic.

you want to keep 4x4 - Land Rover Freelander maybe? Honda CRV?

Toyota Corrola? Ford Focus?

Nah - have had enough of 4x4's now - just want a nice hatchback type thing

What's a Corrola look like?

Why buy a car named after a Biro?

Just tell the insurance company if you change them, they like invalidating policies for having the wrong number of spokes and stupid crap like that! <blink>
