This isn't for me, its for my mechanically unsympathetic step-son.

1. Got to be cheap <£1000
2. Got to be reliable and bullet proof, hes got a habit of killing cars
3. Family sized, able to fit all the crap that goes along with a 2.5 year old and a new born.
4. Cheap
5. Cheap insurance etc.

Doesn't matter how ugly/dull/unappealing a car.

So does anyone have any suggestions other than the usual Ford/Vauxhall offerings?
