i am leaning towards the Corolla at this stage, but who know, we may not actually be able to afford an brand spanking new car anyway LOL

Thanks again.
I Have a 2002 Focus Hatch, and were in a similar state you are in now. We had bought a 3wheeler pram, so it was quite big, and yes took up a fair portion of the boot space. Over time, we've been able to more efficiently use our space when boot filled with baby bags, pram, and shopping bags.
Before we bought the Focus, we'd looked at Astra's, corolla's,(all hatches) just about everything, but there was just something about the Focus, it seemed bigger than the others.
I can say this, it's been the best car i've owned and if i could, i'd upgrade to the new TDi in a heartbeat.
