Five of the best used family cars

Updated



In these tough economic times buying a brand new car isn't always an option, sometimes a used one makes more sense.

The costs a new born baby bring with them can mount up quickly so buying second hand can make a lot of sense. You won't have to worry as much about depreciation, it'll be cheaper to buy in the first place and if you get one that's been looked after it should be pretty reliable too.

Buy from a reputable dealer, or when shopping privately look for a stamped up service history, and you won't go far wrong. What's more there's a lot of choice in the used market for your money.

With that in mind we flipped the search for a family car from the new market to the used. Here's what we'd buy.
