Which? Minibus Peoplecarriers Need Not Apply

Options
I had so much fun with my last post with regards to running a minibus as a private hire vehicle, I've decided to start another.

Just to get started, growing family, soon to be 6 of us, looking for a vehicle big enough not just for running around, but also for our holidays.

So basically, what we're looking for is a minibus. We want to be able to carry 6 people in comfort, and also at least 4 full size suitcases (like you'd take on your hols abroad that can handle 20kg.

Also something that is good for towing (incase we decide to buy a touring caravan at some point in the future).

Budget? Anything from approx 2k to 10k, probably aroundabout the 8k mark.

My initial thoughts are caravelle, torneo, trafic, vivaro. The Vito has already been discounted due to loads of bad press (this forum, AA patrol man)

Anyone any other alternatives? Or information on the shortlist?

As the title says, Peoplecarriers need not apply as they are either good for seats OR luggage, not both (the grand espace was a consideration at one point).

Thanks in advance.
