    Hi,

    I'm in the market for a 2017-ish or newer vehicle under 20K and would appreciate your recommendations. My priorities are:

    1. Reliability and low running costs: My previous car was expensive to maintain, so I'm looking for something dependable that won't leave my family stranded.
    2. Space: Need to comfortably fit two car seats in the back with room for an additional passenger, if possible. The boot should accommodate at least two large suitcases.
    3. Comfort and features: Heated seats, parking sensors, and other amenities within this price range would be a plus.

    I've heard Toyota Corollas and Priuses are excellent for reliability. For space, Skoda Octavia and Superb have been suggested, but I'm unsure about their long-term reliability. The Prius Alpha seems to be the only 7 seater within my budget, and I'm open to it if it's a solid choice. I've also heard mixed reviews about the Nissan Qashqai - any thoughts? Some friends have recommended the VW Passat Highline / R and older Volvo S60 for comfort, but I'm not sure if these fit my other criteria or super reliable.

    As you can probably tell I'm not particularly car-savvy, I'd greatly appreciate specific recommendations on makes, models, years, and engine sizes to consider. Thank you in advance for your help!
