What car will I downsize to?
I want to down size my present car which is a ford s-max to a smaller vehicle. I have two children ready to start driving and I would like some advice on what car yo buy please
Our answer:
Hi Deirdre,
If you've got growing kids I'd advise downsizing into something that still has a good bit of space inside. Have a look for a good Skoda Octavia or Honda Civic - both have lots of space, are good to drive and have the sort of reliability and safety levels that will dovetail well with your kids' learning needs.
