Hi I have a Mazda 232 which I love and is uber reliable but getting too small for us as we have 3 kids who just will not stop growing however much I shout at them.

What mpv would you buy or do you have? Reliability is the most important or so my DH says - I want something that doesn't look and drive likes a hearse.
Would like min 5 seat up to 8 as the sproggs always seam to have someone tagging along
Thanks:D :D

I've got a scenic, only 5 seats. it has been very reliable. the only thing i would say is that the back seats are not very deep so if you have older kids it might be better to get something bigger. having said that, mine are now 16 and 19 and say they are comfortable. i dont find it comfortable in the back and my son is much taller than me..................

If reliability is most important then really you need to buy a Jap MPV.

Toyota Lucida, has 8 seats, reliable, cheap to run, loads of boot space and really easy to fold up seats to make extra room in the back.
