We're a family with 3 teenage kids and a large dog!
The car is mainly used by my husband driving to work on the motorway - 40km each way each day.
At weekends we do family outings so need something with enough space for tall teens and the dog.
We've been thinking about estates - the Toyota Avensis, Toyota verso, Ford Mondeo estate, Kia Ceed.
We're on a tight budget but need decent space in the back seats (lessen the squabling) and want a car with lower running costs and a car we can hang onto for a long time as we've had bad luck with previous cars (mpvs).
We're not car savy at all so would love some recommendations about type of car to go for.
In a FWD car?the person in the middle ends up sitting on a hump with their feet either side of the transmission tunnel.

I don't see a problem putting 3 adults in the back of a mid range car ...
... they have 2 choices around here take the lift or walk.
They are tall, skinny teens with long legs! We have just the one car for the family as other than family outings at weekends and holidays they walk and cycle everywhere!I don't see a problem putting 3 adults in the back of a mid range car if they can't fit in it's time they had a look at there diet. I have a Kia cred diesel and it's very economical and has all the extras and is very comfortable to drive
I don't worry much about the comfort of my passengers they have 2 choices around here take the lift or walk.
Exactly, most have that hump in the middle. The Toyota avensis seems to be one of the very few that doesn’t. The Kia Ceed seems to have a small hump.transmission tunnel is probably not the correct term, but virtually all low-floor cars have a hump in the middle of the rear floor, I guess for brake cables, exhaust etc (and transmission if it's RWD).
On some it's more intrusive than others but if you want a flat floor you're looking at an SUV, MPV or some other high-floor vehicle (even electric cars like the Leaf still have the hump).

For short journeys my Rottweiler and his sister the Heinz 57 varieties terrierist relax on the rear floor of my Avensis. For longer spins they avail of their seat-belt extensionsI have an Avensis...I can lie a full set of clubs along the floor.
How many people are in each of the clubs?I have an Avensis...I can lie a full set of clubs along the floor.
Looks like the Avenisis has aged better than someHow many people are in each of the clubs?
