Peugeot 307 SW

The 307 SW is one of those cars that borrow the lifestyle tag. It's attractively styled, practical, and can hold a couple of extra kids - that's why Peugeot thinks you need one. It also takes the best bits from the 307 hatchback, including a wide choice of engines, good levels of safety and lots of room. Peugeot dealers usually have a good deal on, too. If you don't need the extra seats, then 307 comes as a traditional estate, too.

S, 16V, SE, XSI, HDI

Well equipped for the class (it should be for the money), but options are expensive so look out for one of the many special editions. Some of the interior trims are a bit questionable.
