So, i have 2001 VW Golf 4Motion Variant, which you would think would be a great family car, since it's a Variant and has a nice boot, but everything else is still Golf, so i have to put the front passanger seat up to the glove box to fit the Graco baby seat in the back where i keep my 3 month old son. So i want something bigger.
Also, the 4Motion has alot of parts not shared with the regular mk4 Golf Variant and the only place to buy those is from the main dealer, where everything is 500.000% more expensive. So, the 4Motion is more expensive to maintain then a regular.
So, the cars i've been looking at are VW Passat, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Avensis and Ford Mondeo. Keep in mind, i'm looking at models 2000-2002 since that is what i can afford.
What are your opinions and experiences?
