looking for an 8 seater mpv
Does anyone have any suggestions.. I would prefer it to look like an MPV rather than a Minibus and preferably not a Toyota as I've heard the engines are "slightly" difficult to work on ;) I'm looking around the 8k mark and would like a Diesel engine and something not too expensive to tax and insure.
