The time has come for me to change cars, however I'm really struggling to find something to adequately replace my current VW CC I have, biggest problem being that I got a steal with it when I got it two years ago. I paid 13,500 for it, has every option going on it and I like it, however I need something a bit more practical, as I tend to put my bikes either innit or on it and we've got a dog as well now, so need somewhere to 'store' her.
My initial thoughts were Ford Kuga, however I can't seem to find one within my budget that I'd be happy with, must have specs include a built in Sat Nav, heated seats, Bluetooth, parking sensors etc etc. But most of the Kuga's within my price range are either older than 2013 with the kit, or have bottom spec which again I wouldn't be happy with. I presume the prices are high from dealers due to the popularity of them still.
So I'm after recommendations really, I have a budget of around 15 to 17k and would consider anything similar, the SUV style appeals because that's what my wife likes, however she is due a new car in the summer so it's not essential, I'd be happy with an estate car.
On that note, I just had a quick search for the Focus ST estates, which I like the look of, the ST3's come with all the kit I'd like, and I can get a 2013-2014 low mileage example for my budget if anyone has any experience of these?
Any help is appreciated, like I said I'm struggling for ideas, not even looked at cars since I got my CC so I'm a bit out the loop with it all.
