    What is a good second hand family car?

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai Elantra Hyundai Elantra Advice Hyundai Elantra 2014 Holden Holden Advice Holden Cruze Holden Cruze Advice Holden Cruze 2014 Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Camry Toyota Camry Advice Toyota Camry 2012 Toyota Camry 2013

    We are looking for a used second car to do mostly school drop-offs. Both of our children are still in booster seats, so need enough room in the back to accommodate them. We have a budget of around $15,000 and are relying on a trade-in of $9000. Ideally we would like the newest car we can afford with the lowest kilometres. We are thinking of the Hyundai Elantra, Holden Cruze, or a Toyota Camry if the budget allowed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I would rule out the Cruze straight away, they have too many issues with reliability with them to be considered. The Elantra and the Camry are both good cars. Your budget should allow you to buy a 2014 Elantra, but probably won’t stretch to a Camry. You might have to go for a 2012-2013 Camry.
