Need to change my MX5 for a family hatch - any ideas?
I own a 2007 Mazda MX5, but now have two small children who will need picking up everyday from school. I'd love a 5 door hatch with a DAB radio and a proper sunroof, and petrol engine or perhaps a practical four seater convertible. My budget is around £10,000. What do you recommend?

For kids, don't kid yourself, you need four side doors or you'll damage your back lifting them in and out. You're not far off a new Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost 100 5-door via www.drivethedeal.com. Or a 5-door Mazda 2 1.3TS2.
