What Car? Personal Shopper: family car for £25,000
Want a new car but don't know where to start? Just send us your criteria and we'll give our new and used car choices, and tell you how much we can save you...

Our recommendation: buy new
There are some truly tempting SUVs to choose from here that will each act as practical and stylish family transport. Certainly, a used Land Rover Discovery Sport will suit you down to the ground.
We think, though, that a new Peugeot 5008 just pips it to the post. With two What Car? Award wins under its belt, the 5008 really is the best large SUV you can buy right now, and with seven seats, it should have enough space for anyone who wants to come along plus anything they want to bring with them.
Our advice this time, then, is to buy new.
