Question New Job 14 miles return what to buy?

I've got a new job much nearer to home. It's only a 14 mile return trip over country roads.

I can't afford a scooby again because I now have a young family and can't afford all the other costs, but I would like something a bit more fun than the 1.6 Civic I currently run.

I still need to carry the children around so i need four seats, and I can't go mad over running costs, like insurance, for the same reason.

Oh and yes I had considered cycling but it is over a MASSIVE hill on a relatively busy country road....so I will die if I choose this option

What would you get

Is this the only or second car?

Frankly, if it's the only one, you're asking a difficult question. You want something big, practical and fast but small, economical and cheap!

Focus? Chassis makes it better than most.
