Just sold my Focus XR5 and it we managed to cope alright with the pram and bags but the boot was pretty much filled with little space for anything else.

I know there's a few people with Golf GTIs who have families - how do you guys manage it and do you find the GTI is a decent and practical car. Would it be any more or less practical than an XR5?

The other option is the Skoda but having driven both - I still think the GTI is a more engaging drive and I'm not as worried about resale as I am with the Skoda.

Apart from that its the WRX sedan and Accord Euro - very different cars, I know. Accord Euro is best valued, I'm feeling a bit unsure of plonking 40k on a hatchback - just wanted opnions.
