Wrath car advice.......

Wanting to buy a new car, I have ?8k to spend (including my car worth about ?1500 p/ex)

I ideally want something between 3/4 years old at most, between 30-50k miles, 5door, with a decent size boot. Travel about 8000 miles a year including 2 or 3 400ml round trips to Norwich. So far it's between a 4 yr old Qashqai with 41k on at?7,775 or a 3 yr old Ford C-Max with 30k on at ?7,550.

I have 2 kids to consider too, but no wife!?!?

Go.....
